1. Take the self-inventory on managing boundaries in Chapter 9. What are your concerns about managing boundaries with your clients?

-The first problem that I have with setting boundaries is telling the person in the situation that I need to set up a boundary. When you are in a helping position, like a counselor or social worker, it is your job to provide a safe place and to help the person that has come to you for your advice. In some situations, in my opinion your client came to you and you want to trust each other, so with having a contract that says you will not break any boundaries is saying that this person is already bad in your eyes. That is just a concern that I may have if faced with having to set up a boundary list. But while having …show more content…

How well do you manage boundaries in your personal life? What might your answer reveal about your ability to manage boundaries in your professional life?
- When I hear the word boundaries I assume, emotional boundaries. I know that this questions is asking for all boundaries, of course but that is what I think. In my personal life I do not think that I have a lot of emotional boundaries. Often times I will find myself setting goals and saying that I will do things and falling short of my goal. It can something as simple as starting my homework for the next week, but I will not start it until the night before. The boundaries is set for me to complete my homework on time, or even early sometimes, but I am not able to reach my goal and eventually just do it the day that it is due. That is not the easiest way to do things because I have other classes that I have work in. So my boundaries that I break would be against goal setting. I also have a problem with letting people tell me what to do. In my everyday life I can be seen as assertive sometime but I am most of the time a follower. When I am in a group position I do not like to be the lead or take initiative and be leader. I do not think that this is a bad thing because there is a place for everyone is society. However, in a professional career I do see how this could affect me, espically when I have to set …show more content…

Anything you put online can be accessed by anyone, despite it being private or not. Professional people have always had the hardest time, in my opinion having and keeping online social profiles because they are held to a higher standard. The fact is that professionals are regular people too and have social lives outside of work, however what they share online may not need to be brought in to the work place. Online profiles can give away a great deal of personal information about a client and a professional. If you accept a friend request from a current client and you receive information about them that you haven’t already discussed in person, you may be crossing a boundary that you have set up. This is the same for the client. I think that is it possible to add a client ether current or past, online, if professional what is shared to be limited in its content, and not too personal to the worker. But if you are going to do that then that takes away the freedom of an online profile. Also a relationship barrier will be broken. In today’s society social media profiles are an extension of a person’s life. If your client is younger I feel like they have a deeper connection to what a media profile is for some people. They are connected to them and think that it is an extension of their

The client-helper relationship is the epitome of social work. And, the helper must take his/her responsibility to their client seriously. NOHS (2015) standards 1-9 promote respect, confidentiality, negotiation and recognition of the client’s right to self-determination and informed consent. Standard 2, which refers to informed consent, is by far the most important code in the section as it sets the parameters of the client-helper relationship.

Assignment 301 - Task B a) As a trainer, appropriate behaviour needs to be controlled initially by the setting of boundaries, although not all boundaries will resolve behaviour.

The importance of culture and community can often be overlooked, but especially in a modern world where there has been massive globalization and a melting pot self-identity can feel missing. Diversity in cultures not only makes life interesting and should be celebrated rather than used as a means of separation. In terms of how my work in the future may be affected, I feel as though I have added a valuable experience to my life. I think I can make decisions based less on myself and more on others. Everyone comes from a different background and differences need to be respected.

These individuals feel that having clients on their social media is not an issue. Others strongly believe that what you post directly reflects onto your profession and so you should be keeping your social media either very private or posting only professional and appropriate content. Those who feel this way often believe that posting photos that involve drinking makes the dental hygiene profession look poorly. It would come across as unprofessional and send the message to current as well as prospective patients they may have on their social media, that those who are working at that clinic are irresponsible. My opinion closely relates to the latter as a I believe that if I saw my hygienist posting something inappropriate on social media, I would change my opinion on the whole

What do you think the ramifications are if you do not "start where the client is"? If the social worker does not start where the client is, the consequences are that the social worker will give advice too soon/quickly and there will be no connection between the social worker at the client.

Another side effect of social media is sharing to much information for the entire world to see. Anyone from a future employer to a criminal can see your information. Information such as where you live and where you work can put people or their loved ones in danger. Many people have their accounts on private, but Ali Kingston Mwila has something else to say, “Even with the tight security settings your personal information may leak on the social sites.” (linkedin.com).

It also discussed crossing boundaries with clients and having other relationships such as friendships or other kinds of attachments to the client. In my field placement at Hardin Memorial Hospital social workers may have to be carful not to cross boundaries with clients especially in such a small town in which you may possibly know or know of a client.

Beside personal therapy, boundary setting is one of the essential elements to develop effective client-counsellor relationship. It provides a consistent framework in the counselling process which shapes the appropriate interaction and relationship structure. There are five basic principles outlined in the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) Interim Code of Ethics 2015 that guides the therapeutic boundaries. They include: beneficence (to promotes the best interest of the client), non-maleficence (“doing no harm”), autonomy (to encourage independent thinking and decision-making in the client), justice (to provide equal and fair service), and fidelity (to be honest and commit to client’s progress). However, the structure

A social worker can start by informing or discussing about confidentiality with clients during the first session. This will help the clients to clearly acquaint that their confidentiality is confirmed throughout the sessions. Next, the social workers can remind the clients that the confidentiality of their information is limited if they can bring harm to the client itself or others. If the agencies policy required them to have written agreement, the social worker can have the clients to sign any release of information agreement so that the clients cannot take any legal actions towards the social worker or the agencies. This agreement also can remind the social workers that they cannot freely disclose the information without any necessities.
