Our Commitment: We strive to create a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment. The strength of our group lies in the open and confidential relationships we build.
- Nature of the Group: This is a support and social group, not a therapeutic setting. Respect individual preferences for engagement within the group.
- Confidentiality: What is shared in the group stays in the group. Members' personal information is confidential and should not be shared without explicit consent.
- Respect and Understanding:
- Respect each member’s journey and personal decisions.
- Show heightened sensitivity to new members who may be experiencing stress.
- Avoid initiating physical intimacy, particularly with new members.
- Communication during Meetings:
- Speak from personal experience using "I-statements."
- Offer advice only when requested.
- Encourage balanced participation without dominating discussions.
- Facilitation: Meetings will be facilitated to ensure focused discussions and equitable participation, with respect for everyone’s time.
- Feedback and Concerns: If you feel disrespected or have concerns, please approach the leadership. We are committed to maintaining a respectful environment for all.
Our Goal: To ensure a comfortable space for sharing and growth, fostering a community of mutual respect and support.
