Session 1 (Morning): Personal and Professional Boundaries Facilitator: Debbie Deasy Join us for an enlightening workshop that delves into the intricate balance of physical, mental, and emotional boundaries. Establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries is crucial for the safety and respect of both you and your clients. In community services, where the lines between professional and personal lives often intersect, it’s easy for boundaries to become blurred. The very qualities that make you a compassionate and nurturing service provider can also leave you susceptible to blurring, especially when coupled with fatigue. Session 2 (Afternoon): Managing Difficult Conversations Facilitator: Angharad Candlin In our fast-paced and interconnected world, conversations have the remarkable ability to shift from mere exchanges of words to full-blown conflicts. These conflicts can arise unexpectedly, catching us off guard and leaving us grappling with how to respond effectively. This half-day workshop equips you with essential skills to navigate these challenging dialogues with confidence and grace.
