EXPECTATIONS OF GROUP MEMBERS

  1. In order for everyone to express opinions freely, we expect everyone to honor confidentiality. That is, we ask you not to discuss who attended the meeting and what other people said in the meeting with anyone outside of the group.
  2. We expect all group participants to be respectful. This means arriving on time, taking turns talking, and being open to different perspectives.
  3. This group is not a counseling or therapy group. It is a place where we can learn from each other and discuss issues of concern. If you are interested in receiving individual counseling to address personal concerns, speak with the facilitator to find out how to initiate this service.
  4. If the group is not meeting your needs or expectations, if there are situations in which you don’t feel comfortable, or if you have ideas on how to improve the group, the facilitator will be available briefly after each meeting and would welcome your feedback.
