This is a dynamic two-hour workshop designed to equip social workers with the neuroscience-backed tools necessary to establish and maintain strong, sustainable boundaries.
Social workers navigate complex emotional landscapes, often absorbing the struggles of others, which can take a toll on cognitive resilience. This workshop explores the brain’s response to boundary violations, highlighting how the amygdala and prefrontal cortex play key roles in emotional regulation and decision-making.
Participants will dive into the Seven Step Roadmap to Healthy Boundaries, drawn from From Pain to Power: Seven Steps to Healthy Boundaries, offering a clear, actionable framework for identifying, reinforcing, and communicating personal and professional boundaries.
Through interactive exercises and real-world applications, attendees will strengthen their ability to set limits with clients, colleagues, and even within their own self-care practices—enhancing their professional effectiveness while preserving their mental well-being.
By the end of the session, social workers will leave empowered with practical strategies to protect their energy, advocate for their needs, and foster healthier relationships in their roles.
