Setting Boundaries Featuring No Hate in the Garden State

Happy New Year! Setting boundaries is essential for healthy relationships, a balanced work life, and overall well-being. Boundaries create clarity and empower us to focus on priorities. 

5 Boundary Examples for Healthy Relationships

A healthy relationship is based on respect, trust, communication, and support. It allows both people to feel valued, set boundaries, resolve conflicts kindly, and grow independently. 5 Essential Boundary Examples for Healthy Relationships is a video that highlights key boundaries to foster respect and understanding in relationships. For example, setting limits on personal space, communication, and individual needs.

Why Setting Boundaries Matters for Your Mental Health 

Check out How to Set Boundaries and Why It Matters for Your Mental Health, from UC Davis Health to learn about the significance of establishing personal boundaries to maintain mental well-being. It defines boundaries as limits we set for ourselves through actions or communication.
