Professional Boundaries for Support Workers

This workshop is an open discussion on the professional boundaries between the support worker and the individuals they work for, and determining the necessary steps to prevent boundary violations. This is a topic that asks the participants to define what a good “working relationship” is, and how it differs from being a “friend” of the people they work with.

 

Topics covered:

  • Defining professional boundaries (What are boundaries for?)
  • Effects of crossing boundaries
  • Identifying individual, societal, and professional norms
  • Identifying professional boundary violations
  • Discussion on dealing with boundary problems professionally and tactfully
