Personal Boundaries Program
The Personal Boundaries Program for Women was developed by the Elizabeth Fry Society to help women explore their feelings about personal boundaries. Addressing issues of weak or non-existent boundaries has been identified as an immediate need by the women in our community.
Many women have difficulty recognizing and acknowledging that their boundaries are being violated. The Personal Boundaries Program investigates these issues and provides coping tools and techniques that enable women to develop solid boundaries that can promote healthier, happier lifestyles.
The Personal Boundaries Program is offered in a series of four workshops (all four sessions must be attended). These Programs are designed specifically for women and are conducted in a safe and supportive environment.
What the Personal Boundaries Program Offers
The Personal Boundaries Program offers women the tools to identify and create appropriate, safe boundaries. It provides a comprehensive overview of the kinds of boundary violations women encounter and discusses ways to strengthen "blurred" boundaries.
If you are enrolled in the Personal Boundaries Workshop, you will have the opportunity to discuss the issues surrounding these issues with other women who are experiencing similar concerns. We also present a series of exercises and discussions that help women discover how to appreciate and respect the power of strong personal boundaries.
The Main Topics Included In the Program Are:
- Identifying and understanding the need for personal boundaries;
- How our families influence our personal boundaries;
- Boundary development and personal responsibilities;
- How our boundaries (or lack of) determine our present and past relationships.
