SUMMARY
In educational and community settings, clear and compassionate boundaries are essential for fostering safety, trust, and resilience. This session explores the critical role boundaries play in the emotional and relational development of students and their families. Participants will learn how to model, communicate, and reinforce healthy boundaries in ways that support student autonomy, improve engagement, and reduce burnout among caregivers and professionals. Grounded in trauma-informed and culturally responsive practices, this presentation offers practical tools and reflective strategies to strengthen relationships and promote well-being.
