Professionalism & Boundaries

  • Stay calm and professional: Avoid reacting emotionally or defensively.

  • Document the incident: Write down what happened, when, and who was involved.

  • Report immediately: Notify your supervisor or agency contact to protect yourself and the client.

  • Avoid confronting the client directly about violations: Let the agency handle sensitive conversations to prevent escalation.

  • Know your support system: Agencies often have HR, case managers, peer mentors, or care coordinators. Use these resources to talk through concerns and get advice.
