You
I'm worried about getting too emotionally involved or burning out. How does the course cover things like setting boundaries with clients?
AI Tutor
That's a very important concern for anyone in a support role. The course covers this in detail, especially in lessons on professional boundaries and self-care. We explain the difference between empathy and taking on someone else's distress, a concept known as vicarious trauma. This helps you support others effectively while protecting your own wellbeing. Would you like me to explain the key principles of trauma-informed care?
