About the Event

Humans are social creatures, and as herd animals, our social instincts and connection are not simply desirable, but the basis for our collective survival. The period of adolescence is a unique confluence of self-discovery and social integration, where the art of connection becomes both a challenge and a necessity, as they learn to balance independence and support; connection and autonomy; and prioritising the self with others.

“Boundaries Explored” offers a practical workshop that provides you will the skills to empower young people with essential interpersonal skills, drawing heavily from the Interpersonal Effectiveness module of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). It’s a day dedicated to mastering the delicate balance of honouring self-respect while nurturing relationships, learning to assert without offending, and to request without overstepping.

Interactive and dynamic, we will delve into the DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST techniques, fostering the ability to communicate effectively while respecting personal limits and boundaries. These skills encourage young individuals to embrace their uniqueness and develop the confidence needed for positive and reciprocal relationships. This workshop provides actionable strategies to that young people can utilise to assert themselves, build and maintain healthy relationships, and engage in balanced social interactions.
