View our Virtual Group Safety Agreement.
Will be mentioned at the beginning of group.
All feelings are okay and honored- none are shameful, good, bad, etc- Group is a safe and judgement-free environment. We will not rescue, stop, or judge anyone’s feelings. What is shared in the group stays in the group--this includes telling people’s stories even if you do not share their name.
Everyone deserves a support system. Have a plan for where else you will get support next. Identify a specific person (friend, family member, counselor, spiritual leader, etc.) and a specific plan for how you will connect with them if you are feeling down or distressed.
We will work to facilitate “equal air time” for all participants. To do this, we might ask you to share a shortened version of your story, narrowing down on a specific event or feeling that you’re looking to get support for. We will help guide the conversation to allow everyone to have time to speak.
No “fix it” rule: You will hear others’ perspectives, but we are not here to give one another advice or “should”s.
Respect for spiritual boundaries requires that the group be accepting of and a safe space for diverse religious and spiritual belief systems.
What is shared in this virtual gathering, stays in this virtual gathering. It is not okay to share other people’s stories or details of their life that they might choose to reveal in a support group.
Respecting continued privacy. Do not give out personal information, or invite or solicit individual connections during group.
