Episode 9: Creating Boundaries As Birth Workers

Let’s talk about boundaries.

As a birth worker, it is important that we establish boundaries. One of the most important boundaries to establish are those surrounding the use of social media. While we may use social media as a tool to promote our businesses, there are some potential pitfalls to doing so as well.

Even in large communities, sharing photos, tagging a location, using hashtags and talking about the client’s experience can disclose identifying information. As birth professionals protecting client privacy & confidentiality is an important part of what we do.

Boundaries are an ever-evolving part of our work.

Boundaries around social media. Setting boundaries around when you schedule client visits. Implementing boundaries to protect your emotional bandwidth. Establishing boundaries around how you participate in online forms.

Come join us as we take a dive into the ins and outs of setting boundaries as a birth professional.
