Setting Boundaries with Clients: While your relationship with the newcomers will evolve over time – hopefully becoming a warm neighborly relationship – during their first 90 days in the country, it is important to remember that your RPCP team is the service provider and the newcomers are your clients. Setting Boundaries with Clients from the Refugee Welcome Collective provides guidance to help you set appropriate boundaries with the newcomers to ensure they are set up for independence and self-sufficiency, and your team members avoid burn-out and over-functioning.

List of Reception & Placement Trainings for RPCP Team Leads: Reception & Placement (R&P) is the federally-funded program that provides support and services to refugees for their first 30-90 days after arrival.
