Coming in February - Boundaries: Knowing When and Where to Draw the Line
A Training for Caregivers with Senta Burton
In this 3-hour interactive workshop, we will explore: the importance of setting boundaries at home and at work; why it can be hard to set boundaries; tips for handling tough conversations with children, birth families and professionals; how to identify wrong signs, before they go wrong.
As a caregiver, there is nothing more important than self-care. Often, the first step in caring for ourselves is establishing healthy boundaries.
More details coming soon!
