Since 2018, in the Southwest Conference we have offered Boundary Awareness training in a modular format that requires taking the four modules once within a 5-year unified cycle for everyone. The first cycle ended in December 2022, and in January 2023 we began a new unified cycle began.
This is a survey to offer an opportunity for us to receive feedback on this system, and what your experience of the modules were. We obviously want them to be as useful and relevant as they can be to our clergy. This will help us know how to best improve, adapt or maintain good quality in our required boundary training experience. Thank you for giving your input!
