Setting Boundries

In this engaging workshop, we will explore the common struggles that arise after setting boundaries, such as guilt and pushback, and the impact these challenges can have on our relationships. We will also look at strategies to effectively manage these reactions.

Setting boundaries is an essential part of maintaining healthy relationships and prioritizing our wellbeing. Whether you have formally worked on setting boundaries, or you are looking to set personal and professional boundaries in the future, this workshop is designed to help you navigate the challenges inherent in boundary setting, and provide you with the tools to effectively manage the aftermath.

Audience: All faculty and staff at UBC Vancouver and Okanagan are welcome to attend. 
Location: Zoom. (Once you’ve registered, you will be directed to the course Canvas page where you can find the Zoom link.)
