Boundaries and Disclosure: It is important - when working with individuals with complex needs and histories of trauma who have so often had their boundaries violated - that we recognise and work to address the potential for inadvertent repetition of boundary violations (not only from service users themselves but also from staff and the wider system). This course will explore why boundary violations are so common, the different types of boundaries, and how to develop safe practice in this area. The course will also explore the dilemmas, sensitivity and benefits of thoughtful personal disclosure as a worker; and how to work with and respond to client disclosure.
Length: 4 modules, Duration: 30 - 45 mins of study per module.
