Boundaries and Communication



Tuesday, July 27th 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

Our ability to communicate is a key component in all of our relationships. Any change in how we relate with ourselves or others has the power to have far reaching consequences.

An understanding of how emotional boundaries affect defensiveness, personalizing behaviors, and self-disclosure opens our minds to the possibilities of personal growth.

This dynamic, experiential class is designed to:

  • increase awareness of personal issues in the communication process,
  • motivate change in the process,
  • demonstrate communication styles,
  • build on existing skills,
  • delineate the boundaries of professional communication, and
  • provide you with a wealth of information and activities to share in your work setting.

This thought provoking class is designed for anyone working in health or human services. Whether you are a nurse, social worker, job coach, chemical dependency counselor, supervisor, or direct care staff, you will benefit from this experience.
