Fulfills UUMA continuing education requirement of 6 hours in the area of ministerial ethics and sexual misconduct prevention/professional boundaries and includes a component that puts you in conversation with others. 

Are your boundaries clear-cut and well-defined or fuzzy and fading into the distance? Can you tell where you end and others begin? Do they support your commitments to nurturing flourishing and life-giving ministries or are they in need of bolstering and renewal?

This workshop is for leaders who want to engage the significance of healthy boundaries for professional and personal lives and articulate how they can create and sustain boundaries in their own contexts of vocational significance. The course is grounded in a trauma-informed approach and will utilize practical theological methods of reflection, collaboration, and strategizing for future action.

In this workshop, learners will continue to deepen their capacities as they:

• Engage frameworks of setting and sustaining boundaries grounded in a trauma-informed approach and guided by ministerial ethical commitments 
• Critically reflect on setting and maintaining healthy boundaries in case studies including but not limited to sexual misconduct prevention; social media and mental health; and self-care in an age of multiple compelling urgencies 
• Dialogue with colleagues to discuss and discern pressing questions, considerations, and best practices in ministerial contexts 
• Articulate an approach to setting boundaries in a context of vocational significance
