Being Close While Being Distant: Safe Professional Boundaries with Clients, with Colleagues

It is important for staff working in people related industries to appreciate and understand the complexities of safe professional boundaries. This workshop explores a number of themes which help to deepen knowledge and skills in working safely with professional boundaries.

Using a professional boundary framework the facilitator will explore boundary crossings and violations in the continuum of over- and under- involvement.

• Day one focuses on the client – staff relationship.
• Day two on collegial relationships.

Feedback from prior participants:

• “my concepts about boundaries were indeed strengthened”
• “the knowledge I have gained today will give me more confidence in my workplace as a team leader, educator and mentor”
• “under and over involvement – so relevant in my workplace”
• “role play set out your concerns, different sides” “interpersonal relationships within the team environment and how to be a better team leader”
• “it was the most rewarding training that I have been involved in for a long time. I can take away strategies to make a real difference to demonstrate safe boundaries to other staff and for my own professional health. Very engaging positive experience”
   

Revisited & Extended: We now offer a follow up workshop for participants who have attented the intital two day workshop. In this second workshop participants will be invited to further explore issues of transference and counter transference in greater detail.
