Name 6 out of the 11 group norms.
Be mindful of crosstalk; Speak one member at a time, listen attentively, and wait until others are finished sharing.
Speak only for ourselves and not the group. We use statements with “I,” “me” and “my” when giving feedback or sharing.
When offering feedback please avoid from giving advice; rather, reflect and allow everyone to come to their own answers.
When others share, allow them to experience their feelings in the safety of the group’s presence, without trying to “rescue” them from their feelings.
Please maintain confidentiality and group integrity. This means: “what is shared in group, stays in group” and is not to be discussed outside of the group unless you are talking about yourself and what you learned.
Once group begins, please give your full attention to the group process, and leave only to go to scheduled appointments.
Please turn off cell phones and refrain from use during group.
No food allowed during group; you will have time between groups for eating.
No tobacco use is allowed including chewing tobacco. Designated smoking area outside of building (20 feet away from doors).
Please be considerate of time when sharing allowing each member the opportunity to share.
We respect and use pronouns (she, her, hers; he, his, him; they, them, their; Ze, Hir, hirs)
