• Increase awareness of the need for healthy boundaries in the clergy-congregant or teacher-student relationship;
• Illustrate the impact of appropriate boundaries in promoting effective ministry;
• Provide clergy and teachers with guidelines for developing appropriate boundaries and self-care strategies.

Although this material is designed primarily for clergy, lay leaders can also learn about appropriate and inappropriate expectations and how to support their pastor/teacher's self care efforts.
