Participation Agreement & Non-Clinical Disclosure Statement
Please review the following carefully before signing. By signing below, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:
1) Nature of the Group: This circle is a monthly peer support and psychoeducational space designed for community connection, mutual validation, and sharing lived experiences for adults (18+).
2) Not Professional Therapy: This group does not constitute psychological treatment, psychotherapy, counseling, or medical intervention. Participation in this group does not establish a clinical psychologist-patient relationship between you and the facilitator, even though the facilitator is a licensed psychologist.
3) Jurisdiction & Regulation: This group is organized and managed out of the State of Texas as a non-clinical community offering. It is not a healthcare service and is not subject to health insurance reimbursement; superbills will not be provided.
4) Limits of Confidentiality & Mandated Reporting: While all members agree to maintain strict privacy regarding who attends and what is shared, the facilitator is a mandated reporter in the State of Texas. If a participant expresses an imminent risk of serious harm to themselves or others, or discloses the abuse/neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled adult, the facilitator is legally required to take steps to ensure safety, which may include contacting emergency services or relevant authorities.
5) Emergency Resources: This group cannot provide crisis management or emergency mental health services. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact your local crisis hotline, call/text 988 (in the US), or go to the nearest emergency room.
