This includes no gossiping and not showing the computer screen to family members or friends. I promise to be in a private space when I am engaging in group therapy and not to record any of the sessions. I promise to inform the facilitators if I am attending any virtual session of this course from a location that is not the same as that used to register for the course, or is outside of Ontario.
    Information disclosed by participants will be kept strictly confidential by the facilitators: Kathy Lam, Dr. Alice Chen and interns, and will not be revealed to any person outside of the group without permission.


    Limits of Confidentiality
    There are certain situations in which we are required by law to disclose information obtained. These situations are:
    a. If you pose a threat of physical harm or death to yourself or to others, including danger of suicide or assault.

    c. If a court of law issues a legitimate subpoena, requiring the facilitator to disclose information.

    I understand and accept that the facilitators are bound by these professional ethics and laws and will take any necessary steps to ensure my safety and the safety of others.
    2. I agree that in the event of an emergency that pertains to the welfare of my medical and psychological health, I will go to the nearest hospital emergency room or call 911.
    3. I agree to respect every person’s contribution without judgement. We agree to encourage all participants to share their own feelings, and to not offer advice.

    4. I agree to respect every person’s privacy and right to refrain from participating or volunteering information, while recognizing that active involvement is of great benefit to the participant.
    6. I agree to pay full attention and to listen carefully to others during the group meeting. This includes not interrupting, staying off my devices (i.e. not engaging in texting, social media, email, phone calls, gaming, browsing, etc.) and not carrying on side conversations during the session. I agree to mute all cell phones and other devices during the session.
    7. I agree to arrive on time. I will attend each session to provide continuity and a safe environment for the group. If I cannot attend a session, I will let the facilitators know in advance.
