Professional Boundaries and Confidentiality is a 12-hour course and was taught over a two-day period. The course was designed to engage learners to explore ethics, values, and boundaries within their personal and professional lives. Participants looked at how ethics, values, and boundaries impact the clients they work with, while they explored how to handle situations where they may come into conflict. By the end of the course learners demonstrated knowledge and skill in their ability to handle confidentiality issues and boundary conflicts.

Learners were encouraged to draw from their own experiences and expertise, as well as share best practices with of the rest of the group. Participants, facilitator Charlotte, and elder Ernestine all contributed to a safe and inclusive learning environment for all. Here is what a few participants had to say about Professional Boundaries and Confidentiality Training.
