I understand that CMC:FFC peer-led support groups are not, and are not intended to be, medical, psychological, or other professional health care treatment services or therapy services, and no client/therapist relationship is formed by my participation. Participation in the CMC:FFC peer-led support groups is not a replacement for private counseling or a professionally-led support group.
Confidentiality Agreement*

I understand that by registering for and participating in this CMC:FFC ITC peer led group that I will respect the confidentiality of my fellow group members. No personal information that is shared in this group shall be shared outside of the group. It is important for members to feel they can speak, if they want, about personal experiences or feelings that they may have some shame, fear, or extreme worry about. When speaking about their experience with their loved one, they are sharing not only their own story, but the story of their loved one who is not here to give or refuse consent. This is why we must pledge to hold in confidence any identifying information about who is present in the group and whomever they are related to.
Treatment Referrals*

I understand that CMC:FFC will not provide treatment referrals for group participants or their loved ones. CMC:FFC offers trainings to family members and mental health professionals to help them work with folks with substance use issues. If you are looking for additional support within the treatment system, we have created a guide full of advice on finding a good program here: https://cmcffc.org/resources/guide-to-navigating-the-treatment-system
Next Steps!

After you submit this form you will receive a link to our pre-group survey. This will ask you a series of questions about yourself and your loved one. We will ask you the same set of questions after you complete the group. This feedback will help us continue to track the effectiveness of these groups and to improve the experience of future group members. In order to finalize your registration, you must complete this survey. Once you complete the survey you will receive a free print copy of our Invitation to Change: A Short Guide our workbook for families which will be used throughout your group.
