Description

Boundaries are the invisible line between the patient/ family and the healthcare provider.  It is critical to establish boundaries early, reinforce them often, and know if and when to make an exception.  How do we balance offering empathic clinical services while maintaining professional appropriate boundaries?  Join us for practical talk on how to improve your boundary skills with family caregivers of older adults as a clinician and manager.


This course is suitable for both beginning and intermediate levels.  There is an introduction to establishing appropriate boundaries, which is necessary and appropriate for beginners.  It also applies to intermediate levels as it expands upon the introductory level, focusing specifically on the code of ethics for social workers and strategies for management of setting and maintaining appropriate boundaries.
