TRAINING DETAILS:
Many of us are drawn to this work by a desire to care for and help others. Our ability to extend empathy and compassion makes us great at our jobs – but what happens when we overextend this ability? When boundaries are poorly defined, too rigid, or completely absent, the consequences are felt by everyone – loved ones, team members, organizations, and the people we serve.
Research shows that healthy boundaries are a protective factor against the ill-effects of stressful work. This training provides strategies to set and maintain healthy boundaries.
Learners will:
- Address common concerns about setting boundaries
- Identify the consequences of poor boundary setting from an individual, group, and organizational perspective
- Learn strategies to set and receive boundaries in a healthy way
Who should attend: All staff of family resource center (FRCs), child abuse prevention councils (CAPCs), community-based organizations, and other child- and family-serving systems.
