It’s our experience that pastors, church staff, and other leaders who transgress boundaries, by and large, are not predators. In fact, it’s not even close. Most ministry members who violate boundaries know and follow their rules most of the time but whose judgment may be impaired due to an unusually stressful time in their lives.
With that in mind, Not-Your-Average Boundaries Training focuses on strategies to foster a person’s well-being. While we still cover the requirements — “Don’t sleep with a parishioner unless you’re married to them” and the like — we believe the best prevention is to encourage clergy to take steps to manage their stress to maintain balance and perspective when temptation arises.
We further teach a 4-step strategy to help stop them in their tracks before they commit a boundary violation, and participants leave with their own personal prevention plan.
This training is lively and interactive, full of reflection and conversation—and even laughter. Attendees have given us feedback that our boundaries training was a great experience AND caused them to re-evaluate some of their practices.
With systems theory as the backdrop, this boundaries training investigates the well-being of the leader and the implications for the organization. Topics to be explored through presentation and collegial interaction include resiliency, differentiation, and self-regulation.
Expand your learning through large and small group discussions, interacting with case studies, and times of self-reflection. Join us for practical insights about decision-making and relational interactions, plus glean encouragement to continue your pursuit of holistic health.
