It is assumed that one must be able to set healthy and appropriate personal boundaries to maintain professional boundaries. This idea will be explored further. The definition and challenges of boundary setting will be explored. Participants will have the opportunity to explore, discuss, and process practical scenarios, including role play. Strategies on how to set boundaries will be discussed.
