Boundaries and Assertiveness: You Can't Have One Without the Other

Just a reminder about the next workshop being put on by the Family Caregiver Network Society:

Boundaries and Assertiveness You can’t have one without the other

Boundaries implicitly define for others what behaviours are acceptable and not acceptable when they interact with us. Being assertive grows from the knowledge you have about your own boundaries and involves stating clearly and calmly what you think, what you feel, and what you want to have happen.

In this workshop you will learn some simple yet effective tools that will benefit you as a family caregiver. Become more aware of your boundaries and learn how to be more assertive with the person for whom you are caring, other family members and people in the healthcare system. While you can’t change the world with a magic wand, you can make your life easier by knowing your boundaries and expressing yourself assertively.
