Boundaries: What are they? What aren't they? And, when do we need them?

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of 'Conversations That Matter', Joe Emick, Supervisor of Caron's Breakthrough Program, joins host Tina George to unravel the complex world of boundaries. If you've ever wondered what healthy boundaries really look like, Joe is here to clarify it all from both a parent's and educator's perspective.

With a touch of humour and a lot of real-world wisdom, Joe explains when boundaries are necessary and shares practical strategies for setting them effectively. He challenges common misconceptions, highlighting that boundaries are about the individual, not about controlling others. Joe delves into the difference between limits and boundaries, particularly in the context of parenting and education.

He also discusses the importance of 'trust transference' in educational settings, where teachers can leverage their relationship with students to guide them towards appropriate mental health support. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or someone interested in behavioural health, this episode offers valuable insights into building healthier relationships with children and teens. So, are you ready to rethink how you set boundaries in your life?
