Waiver of Liability
· I voluntarily agree to participate in activities during the online MSC program. I hereby assume all risks of injury to me and my property that may be sustained in connection with activities undertaken during the program.
· Any costs incurred for health services are my responsibility and not the responsibility of the teachers or the course facility.
· I further understand that participation in MSC is at the discretion of the teachers at all times. If, in the opinion of the teachers, I am unable to continue to participate productively in the course, I may be asked to leave.
· If I am taking prescription medications of any kind and discontinue taking them during the program, this may be grounds to be asked to leave.
· I understand that MSC is a compassion skills training program, not group therapy. MSC is designed to teach participants the tools needed to develop and cultivate a mindfulness and self-compassion practice. I understand that MSC does not take the place of personal therapy.
· By completing this release and consent I assume all risk for any physical, mental and/or emotional consequences of participating in this online course.
· By signing this release and consent I also specifically and expressly agree to hold harmless, indemnify and release all facilitators and teachers of this program from any and all liability for the results of the educational guidance that will be or have been provided.
· I understand that no guarantee is made as to the outcomes or results of this educational training program.
· I understand that personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self-compassion training and that I am primarily responsible for my own safety. I will not push myself to do anything that feels distressing or harmful. If I feel overwhelmed, I will stop what I am doing or slow down until I feel comfortable again. If I need to discuss a personal matter, I can consult with a teacher but I understand that the opinions of others are not a substitute for caring for myself in the best way I know.
