Building Better BoundariesBoundaries are an integral part of everyone’s mental health and well-being. In this course, students will learn the importance of boundaries, the different types of boundaries and the necessity of self-worth and self-love to be motivated to set boundaries. Throughout the course, students will develop boundary-setting and communication skills and practice these skills. Students will also learn the steps and challenges involved in determining our values so they can set boundaries with integrity, along with ways to protect those boundaries. Above all, students will learn self-love, self-compassion and respect as the basis of boundary setting. Course Objectives

Course Details:Session 1: Introduction to BoundariesIn the first week of Building Better Boundaries, participants are introduced to the concept of personal boundaries. Participants discuss what they are, why they are essential, and the various types of boundaries. Participants consider the idea that personal boundaries stem from a sense of self-love and understanding of one’s values. Participants will explore ways to acknowledge our worthiness and human rights to set the foundation for learning how boundaries work. Class Objectives
Session 2: Understanding my BoundariesIn the second session of Building Better Boundaries, participants will build awareness around the types of boundaries they have and consider the consequences of having boundaries that are either too weak or too rigid, as well as the benefits of having flexible boundaries. Participants also review the barriers they have in setting boundaries. We begin to examine ways to have effective boundaries by getting in tune with our “gut” feelings and explore scenarios that may alert us that a boundary may have been crossed. Class Objectives
Session 3: Articulating my Boundaries to OthersIn the third session of Building Better Boundaries, participants will learn to identify their feelings and connect them to a need so that we can communicate our needs to others. Participants learn and practice the concepts from the Non-Violent Communication (NVC) system of communicating with others. Building on understanding how to identify feelings and needs and how they are connected, participants learn how to make factual observations and healthy requests of others. Class Objectives
Session 4: Saying Yes to MyselfThe final session of Building Better Boundaries is all about saying yes to yourself. In this session, participants are allowed to get in touch with their personal values and consider ways to honour those values in their lives. Participants consider the importance of compassion for self and others in this learning process. Participants will learn the 4 stages of learning as a reminder to be kind to ourselves (and others) while we build on our new skill of boundary setting. Class Objectives

Building Better Boundaries: Course Schedule
Courses offered at the Hope Learning Centre are intended to be educational. Our Facilitators and Peer Supporters are not therapists, and our courses are not a substitute for therapy. Instead, we encourage students to come together in a positive, safe environment to learn and be part of our growing community.
We hope this is a useful and supportive place for all our students. If you feel like you are in crisis, please use a crisis line to speak to a mental health professional one-on-one.
For Saskatchewan residents: Call 1-306-757-0127
For those in other Canadian Provinces Call: 1-866-585-0445
OR Text WELLNESS to 686868 for youth, and for adults text WELLNESS to 741741
The Hope Learning Centre is committed to our student’s safety, trust and peace of mind. As such, confidentiality is a key ingredient to that commitment. Students are not permitted to record any of their classes for this reason. We also ask that the names of fellow students and their shared experiences stay in the classroom. Please do not discuss what fellow students have shared in your classes.
Students can discuss course material, exercises, or other helpful information they have learned in our classes. We ask that you be mindful of your fellow students and never disclose any of their information in these conversations.
Your Facilitators will always be mindful of this confidentiality agreement and will not share information from class. The only exception to this rule will be if a student has expressed intent to harm himself or herself or someone else. In this case, a Facilitator may need assistance from other support services, and student information may need to be provided to ensure the student’s safety.
Space is limited, so we ask that you only register if you intend to be present for all classes of your course.
If you register for a class but later realize you will not be able to attend, you can easily cancel your registration. In the "Details" section below, where you first registered for the class, you will see the following text:
"You are already registered for this event"
Followed by a button that says: "Cancel Registration."
Please just click the "Cancel Registration" button, and you will be removed from the registration list.
If, for whatever reason, you do not see the "Cancel Registration" button, please email the Hope Learning Centre at HopeLC@cmhask.com and tell us your name, email address, and the course you would like to be removed from. One of our staff will manually remove you from the registration list.
Cancellation of our Certificate courses is also available, but you must email the Hope Learning Centre program director at: DirectorHLC@cmhask.com.
You will be given two options for Certificate workshops. If you can no longer attend the date you registered for, but still wish to attend the same Certificate Workshop at another time, your registration will be transferred to the new date by our program director. There are no additional fees, and you will be sent a new registration email with the details of this new Certificate Workshop date.
If you do not wish to attend the Certificate Workshop you have registered for, and instead would like the Hope Learning Centre to refund your purchase amount, please indicate this in your email to the program director. Refunds will be processed within 5 business days and issued to your original payment method.
The Hope Learning Centre will retain a small processing fee from your original purchase. This is to cover the costs of the online payment processing system we use, which is Stripe. The fees we will retain are as follows:
SafeTalk Processing Fee - $5.00
C.A.R.E. Program Processing Fee - $5.00
Mental Health First Aid Processing Fee - $10.00
ASIST Processing Fee - $10.00
Difficult Discussions Processing Fee - $50.00
Psychological Health & Safety Processing Fee - $100.00
These fees take into account the percentage the Hope Learning Centre is charged by Stripe both at the time of purchase and at the time of the refund. We apologize for the inconvenience. If we did not retain these fee amounts, we would incur a significant loss for every refund we process.
Occasionally, the Hope Learning Centre may have to cancel a Free HLC Course, or Certificate Workshop. This typically only occurs if there are too few registered participants for the class to proceed.
For Free HLC Courses, a cancellation notice will be sent to registered students 1 or 2 days before the start date of the class. Students who wish to have their registration transferred to the next available course date should send their request to: HopeLC@cmhask.com. A Hope Learning Centre staff member will happily transfer the registration and send a new confirmation email to the student.
For Paid-For Certificate Workshops, we will contact registered participants as soon as it appears likely that the Workshop will not be able to proceed. This should typically be 1 to 4 days before the Workshop date. Low registration is the only reason the Hope Learning Centre will cancel a Certificate workshop. There are minimum student requirements for all of our Certificate Workshops. Those requirements are as follows:
SafeTalk Minimum Student Requirement - 8 participants
C.A.R.E. Minimum Student Requirement - 8 participants
Mental Health First Aid Minimum Student Requirement - 8 participants
ASISTMinimum Student Requirement - 10 participants
Difficult Discussions Minimum Student Requirement - 16 participants
Psychological Health & Safety Minimum Student Requirement - 16 participants
There may be some exceptions to these minimums if we receive a cancellation on the training day and arrangements have already been made for the Workshop to run.
If the Hope Learning Centre must cancel a Certificate workshop, participants can transfer their registration to another Certificate Workshop date or receive a refund. If a refund is requested, the processing fee will be halved to accommodate the workshop's cancellation by the Hope Learning Centre.
