• Your Instructor may charge administrative fees for writing a letter or report at your request; consulting with another healthcare provider or other professional outside of normal case management practices; or for preparation, travel, and attendance at a court appearance. Fees for such services vary, but range from $45.00 to $150.00 an hour. Payment is due in advance. A letter of completion is included and does not have an extra fee. Some classes are free for current clients.

CONDUCT AND RELATIONSHIP If you are in a group session, for the safety it is necessary that the following is required to be complied with by the members of the group: Discussions made within the group session are not allowed to be discussed outside with anyone and should maintain the practice of confidentiality in order to build trust with fellow members; Members should maintain positivity and not induce disrespect among others; Members should not be drunk, nor they are allowed to take alcohol or take drugs before classes; Maintain conduct that brings respect to fellow members' thoughts, emotions, or behavior. Refrain from having a relationship with a fellow member other than professional while engaged in the class.

 

 

The Instructor(S) The instructor should maintain a professional relationship with the participants all the time and no more than that. Any relationship with a participant may result in a "dual relationship" and may affect the goals of the group classes.

Acknowledgment  I agree to adhere to the norms and expectations for group classes as indicated above. I acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to ask questions and such questions were answered clearly and to my satisfaction.
