Welcome, and thank you for trusting me with your personal growth and development needs. 

As an advocate for women, my mission is to provide you with the essential tools and strategies you need to prioritize YOU, while maintaining your ability to show up for others.

The women who've had the most success in this group program set an intention EVERY DAY to show-up for themselves, unconditionally show love to themselves, and take care of themselves FIRST, so that they can be their BEST selves as women AND in their roles as daughters, sisters, girlfriends, mothers, wives, friends, employers, and colleagues. 

Joining Beyond Her Roles gives you access to the tools you need to FINALLY stop trying to please everyone, stop trying to BE everything TO everyone, stop trying to do EVERYTHING for EVERYONE, and be ok with not doing all things perfectly.

So, congratulations on taking the first step by investing in yourself and joining this program. I look forward to being alongside you as you create the positive, long lasting changes you've been wanting to see in your life. The kind of life you deserve!

Together, let's rediscover who you are beyond your roles.

GROUP SUPPORT + ACCOUNTABILITY TIMEFRAMES:

6-Month Premium Group Experience

6 months of group support is from 11/13/2023 - 5/13/2024

6-Week Group Program

6 weeks of group support is from 11/16/2023 - 1/18/2024

*Please note that although the program is a 6-week program with 6 live group meetings, the holiday schedule has been considered. Due to the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the 6-week program will run from November 16, 2023, to January 18, 2024 (approximately 9 weeks).

BENEFITS AND RISKS TO GROUP PARTICIPATION

Sharing your thoughts and feelings with other women who understand what you are going through can help you feel validated, courageous, and encouraged; however, at times you may feel nervous, vulnerable, or insecure.  Both are normal parts of the process. 

Regular attendance and active participation in group meetings can provide you with the accountability you need to follow through with your goal setting and with implementation of your healthy self-care habits.

Sometimes, we will discuss topics that may be difficult to process, and things may feel like they are getting worse before they get better.  If you ever feel emotionally activated by something that comes up in group, feel free to turn your camera off, mute yourself, and take a moment to take care of yourself.  Know that I am here for you and your fellow group members will be too!

GROUP PROCEDURE 

This is a closed virtual group. The women participating in the group are the only ones allowed to enter, and no one else will be added once the group starts.  The set number of group sessions will allow time for us to complete the specialized curriculum.  You may receive homework assignments via email or in our private text message group to increase awareness and give you the opportunity to put what you've learned into action. To allow for privacy, vulnerability, and to increase our practice of mindfulness to ensure that we are fully present group meetings are not recorded.

 

GROUP EXPECTATIONS 

To ensure participation, and to increase engagement, all participants must be present and on camera throughout the entire group meeting when possible.

It is recommended that all participants have reliable internet connection and a computer or tablet to participate in all group meetings. Privacy is also essential so that all group participants feel safe and comfortable to express themselves during the group experience.  The goal is to help one another feel validated and brave enough to work through issues that may have never been addressed. 

Additionally, as the group facilitator if I decide a topic has become too “heavy” for the group, I may end the discussion as to not intensify unpleasant emotional responses that might require more individualized attention. 

 

CONFIDENTIALITY 

By signing this agreement, you understand that everything said in this group is confidential and not to be shared with anyone outside of the group, except as may be otherwise required by law.  You agree to keep confidential the names of other members of the group.  You also agree to not disclose to anyone outside the group any information that may identify another group member. This includes, but is not limited to, city/state of residence and physical descriptions of other group members.  You agree to indemnify and hold Christalyn Howard and Carolina Counseling Consultants, LLC harmless for any loss or damages, including costs and attorney’s fees, incurred by Christalyn Howard and Carolina Counseling Consultants, because of a breach of another group members confidentiality. 

 

ABSENCES  

Commit to being present and on time for every group meeting. Life can get busy, but we've got you covered. If you anticipate missing a meeting, please inform me promptly via text or email, and catch up on any missed meetings using the provided materials in your wellness workbook.
