Accurate Empathy and Healthy Boundaries with People Recovering from Domestic Violence

The presenters will discuss how to have empathy for the emotions and struggles people are going through without inadvertently condoning abuse, substance use or other non-productive, adaptive coping. We will also talk about how to hold boundaries that are congruent with agency and personal values without alienating our clientele, in an assertive and positive way.

  • Exploring how to use empathy with the people we serve without colluding or condoning non-productive behaviors
  • Setting healthy boundaries without being rigid
  • Discovering your values and how to hold fast to those without alienating people in your workplace
