Support Group Guidelines
1. Confidentiality
– What is shared in the group stays in the group. Respect each other’s privacy.
2. Respect
– Listen actively and allow everyone to speak without interruption or judgment.
3. No Cross-Talk
– Speak from personal experience using “I” statements and avoid giving unsolicited advice.
4. Non-Judgmental Space
– Everyone’s experiences are valid; there is no right or wrong way to feel.
5. Be Present – Stay engaged, avoid side conversations, and limit phone use during meetings.
6. Time Awareness
– Share openly but be mindful of giving others time to speak.
7. No Discrimination
– Hate speech, discrimination, or aggressive behavior will not be tolerated.
8. Voluntary Participation
– No one is required to share; listening is just as valuable.
9. No Substances
– Meetings should be free of alcohol, drugs, or any impairing substances.
10. Respect Boundaries
– Do not pressure others to share personal details or engage outside of meetings.
