This eWorkshop will help provide the participants with the knowledge and skills to: understand the range of professional boundaries that you need to set with clients; know how to maintain boundaries with clients who may have difficulties working within those boundaries; understand the importance of professional boundaries for worker well-being; and develop their skills in promoting their own well-being.
At the end of the training, the participants will:
• have developed their understanding of the fundamental professional boundaries that need to be adhered to when working with clients (knowing your own role and remaining within it; understanding your duty of care and confidentiality; only seeking information that is relevant to the service provided; the importance of limiting self-disclosure)
• have developed their skills in setting and maintaining boundaries when clients have difficulties doing this themselves (explaining your own role; simple scripts for explaining boundaries to clients)
• have extended their skills in promoting their own well-being at work. (learning not to take things personally; making empathic connections with clients while not becoming over-involved; setting a strong boundary between work and home).
The training will include guidelines for team leaders, managers, and supervisors on how to support staff who have difficulty setting and maintaining professional boundaries.
Participants will be encouraged to ask questions at any time.
Detailed notes and an extensive bibliography will be provided.
