MEETING GUIDLINES

Maintain  Privacy and Confidentiality.. Everyone needs to feel safe.. and trust that what  happens in the meeting.. stays in the meeting.

Please practice Respectful Listening ~   Listen with an open mind..  let anyone who wants to.. have their say.

Respect one another’s Differences – we are not all going to agree all of the time.. and that is okay.

It is important that meetings are conducted.. in a respectful.. supportive.. peaceful manner. Anyone Exhibiting Disruptive Behavior Will Be Asked To Leave.

I am not medical .. or mental health professional.  all of my comments.. are from my own experiences… learning how to best address my own challenges.
