New White Paper Shares Tips for Setting Healthy Boundaries as a Caregiver

Professional caregiving requires care and compassion for clients and for some caregivers it can be very personal experience. Before caregiving for a client or clients begins to effect the professional caregiver personally, it is wise to set some healthy boundaries.
 
The concept of boundary setting began in the mid-1980’s and has grown in awareness and popularity over the years.

A boundary is defined as a limit set in order to create a healthy sense of personal space or to define a healthy space between you and another person.
