Participation guidelines

Participants are asked to:

  • Attend all group sessions unless there is an unexpected reason for not attending

  • Treat others in the group with kindness and respect and keep what is discussed in the group confidential

  • Talk with one of the facilitators if you are having difficulty with the group content or feel that you are unable to participate in the group. This includes using the chat function to notify a facilitator if for any reason you need to leave during a session

  • Ensure you have a comfortable and private space where you can log in to the group. If there are others in your household – let them know that you are not to be interrupted. Set yourself up with tissues and a drink (non-alcoholic) on hand.

  • Trial your videoconferencing set up before the program begins.

  • Fill out a feedback survey at the end of the 7 week program
