Course Description
Healthy professional and personal boundaries are essential to ensure that you and your clients are safe and respected. However, in the current community services environment with many demands, professional boundaries can be blurred.
Come and join us to explore physical, mental and emotional personal boundaries. You will also learn about people who don’t like hearing ‘no’ and try to manipulate you to say ‘yes’. When exploring boundaries in the workplace, you will look at clear boundaries, boundary crossings and boundary violations.
When exploring boundary crossings and boundary violations, we will discuss warning signs and preventative measures to keep you and your clients safe.
This course also covers:
- Acknowledge and recognise your own professional and personal boundary limits
- Recognise boundary issues in your own professional and personal life
- Develop strategies to response to your own boundary issues
- Gain awareness of the importance of your professional identities and reputation
- Explore ethical issues arising from multiple relationships you may have with clients and explore the effects of gossip
