Relationships are an integral part of being human and friendship is one of the richest gifts we can give each other. However, navigating professional relationships and personal relationships often require different approaches, and this can be confusing for anyone, as sometimes our work relationships cross over into personal waters. These areas of overlap can make navigating a relationship tricky for both the support worker and the clients they provide care to. Today we will explore the importance of boundaries and why they should exist between support workers and their clients.
Today we’re exploring why boundaries must exist to maintain a professional relationship with your support worker.
Why ‘can we be friends?’ Is a valid question:
Why ‘can we be friends?’ Isn’t the best question:
Why ‘can we work together?’ Is a better question:
To sum up, although a support worker and their client may share personal matters and moments, a support worker, at the end of the day is a support worker. So, while they can be friendly and care about a client, a professional relationship helps to protect everyone.
There’s no doubt that this is a tricky topic, and we recognise that boundaries may differ for individual relationships, however for the support worker, being professional above all is vital to ensure they can do the best job they possibly can with everyone they support.
