Contact Boundaries

Contact boundaries are defined lines where different parties—such as individuals, organizations, or groups—interact, communicate, or share resources. These boundaries delineate roles, responsibilities, and levels of access, helping to clarify who is responsible for what and how interactions occur. They can be physical, social, or conceptual, adapting to the context of the relationship. Properly managed contact boundaries ensure smooth, respectful exchanges and help prevent conflicts, misunderstandings, or overreach. In essence, they establish understanding and limits to facilitate effective and appropriate interaction between parties.
