Agreement of Commitment
Purpose:
Relationship Recovery is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for its members. This Agreement of Commitment outlines the expectations and responsibilities of all members to ensure that our support group remains a positive and helpful space for everyone.
As a member of Relationship Recovery, I hereby acknowledge and agree to the following commitments:
Confidentiality:
I will respect the confidentiality and privacy of all support group members. I will not disclose any personal information shared within the group to anyone outside the group.
Respect:
I will treat all support group members with respect, kindness, and empathy, regardless of their background, beliefs, or experiences. I will listen actively and attentively to others when they speak, without interrupting or judging.
Participation:
I will actively engage in support group discussions, sharing my thoughts, feelings, and experiences when comfortable. I understand that participation is voluntary, and I may choose to pass if I don't wish to share on a particular topic.
Supportive Language:
I will use language that is supportive, non-judgmental, and sensitive to the experiences of others. I will refrain from using offensive, derogatory, or hurtful language during support group sessions.
Conflict Resolution:
If a conflict arises between group members, I will address it respectfully and constructively within the group, with the aim of finding a resolution. I understand that if necessary, a moderator or facilitator may assist in conflict resolution.
Attendance and Punctuality:
I will make an effort to attend support group meetings regularly and arrive on time. If I cannot attend a meeting, I will inform the group or the facilitator in advance when possible. If several meetings go by without my attendance, I understand a group facilitator or member may reach out to me via text or phone call as a courtesy.
Respecting Boundaries:
I will respect the boundaries and personal space of fellow group members. I will not initiate contact outside of support group sessions without their consent.
I acknowledge that by signing this Agreement of Commitment, I am dedicated to creating a positive and supportive atmosphere within Relationship Recovery. I understand that failing to adhere to these commitments may result in my removal from the group.
