This workshop will help you understand the importance of setting boundaries as well as strategies for communicating with compassion.

From a practical standpoint, we know that setting boundaries for ourselves is the “right” thing to do, but when you have a loved one struggling with substance use, it can feel impossible at times. Using evidence-based best practices, this interactive workshop will dive into the what, why, and how behind establishing and compassionately communicating boundaries in your relationships.Upon completion of this 4-part workshop series, you will: <ul><li>Understand boundaries: What they are, and why you need them in your relationships </li><li>Gain insight into the 8 dimensions of wellness and identify where boundaries are working for you, and where they AREN’T, in order to establish new strategies </li><li>Learn how to set healthy boundaries, and how to best communicate these boundaries with compassion, ease and confidence </li><li>Learn strategies to address situations when boundaries don‘t align (I.e. how to get on the same page!) </li><li>Understand the difference between boundaries and agreements, and in which situations they can be used most effectively </li><li>Learn from role-plays: We will pull in anonymous yet real-life scenarios and practice these, to help you apply these learnings to your own experiences. </li></ul>Each session takes place from 6:30 - 8:00 PM Central Time on the following Wednesdays via Zoom and will be recorded, so if you happen to miss one, you&#x27;ll be able to access the recordings when convenient for you.
