Healthy Boundary Training Opportunities In 2024 - Coming Soon...
Healthy Boundary Training Opportunities in 2024
We are created in and for relationships. Life-enriching relationships, whether with intimate partners, family, friends, colleagues or parishioners, require healthy boundaries. The Healthy Boundary trainings explore the meaning and practice of healthy boundaries in the context of ministry. It will also identify the signs, dangers, and preventions of boundary violations, including those in today's social media. The training begins with an assumption that the complexity of relational dynamics in the congregation is one of its greatest possibilities and its greatest challenges for ministry.
Completion of any one of these sessions offered by the FL Regional Church or from the Additional Outside Trainings Available below will fulfill the requirement for training for Active and Active-Retired Clergy with Standing.
