What most professionals find difficult is how to create meaningful relationships, but also maintain strong, healthy boundaries. Often, the two paradigms aren’t skillfully practiced in the same individual. Many strict teachers, therapists, group home staff, etc. want to “put their foots down,” “hold their own” or “not get walked on like a mat.” On the other hand, professionals who create relationships without boundaries are deemed “softies,” “unprofessional,” and many other terms that suggest they either don’t have the skill-set to confront youth or are scared that doing so would hurt the meaningful relationships they’ve created. The truth is that both are needed: building authentic and meaningful connections is imperative to foster positive outcomes. But doing so without healthy boundaries will only inhibit the youth. We can learn and practice setting boundaries in healthy, mindful, and compassionate ways that contribute to building the relationship (i.e., a healthy adult-adolescent model).The key though, is that when we do set those boundaries, they are done skillfully in the best interest of the youth and not from a reactive place (at least that’s the goal).
