Back 2 Basics (Spring): Setting Boundaries: The True Self-Care
2025-04-09 10:00 - 15:00
Christine Fulton, MS |4 Hour | in-person at LRC-Central, Trenton, NJ
Have you ever said to yourself, “there are not enough hours in a day?” In the busy TA roles there are many competing priorities that must be navigated on a daily basis. When clear boundaries are not set, it can sidetrack high priority work that makes the most impact. Many of us struggle to set boundaries for fear of damaging relationships, letting others down, or a job not getting done. Learning the skills to set boundaries however, is the key to sustainability and true self-care in the workplace. This 2-hour session will dive deep into boundaries, what they are, and how to set and maintain them in order to perform your role to the best of your ability.
