Professional Boundaries
Practitioners know that professional boundaries need to be maintained at all times, for the safety of all patients and clients. However this can be easier said than done.
This course will help you to identify the warning signs that boundaries may be weakening, and will give you strategies to help protect those boundaries and prevent you inadvertently jeopardising your livelihood through a boundary violation.
