A group of people, male and female, meeting over coffee.

Group Norms & Confidentiality: Creating a Supportive Space Together

We follow a few simple agreements to help everyone feel welcome, heard, and safe. Our intention is to create a space where people feel safe to show up, connect, and share.

  • Be present: Try to limit distractions and stay engaged—it helps everyone feel valued. 

  • Mute when not speaking: Keeps the audio clear so we can all hear each other. 

  • One mic at a time: Let’s avoid talking over each other so every voice is heard. 

  • Use the chat respectfully: Supportive, on-topic messages. 

  • Cameras on if you're comfortable: Helps us feel more connected—but no pressure. 

  • Start and end on time: We respect everyone’s time by being punctual. 

  • Can’t make it? Just let us know—it helps with group rhythm and planning. 

  • Facilitators here to guide: We help keep things moving and may jump in when needed. 

  • Respect confidentiality: What’s shared here stays here. Don’t share names or personal info outside the group. 

  • No recordings: Sessions aren’t recorded to protect everyone’s privacy. 

  • Be mindful of your space: Use headphones or find a private spot.

Thank you for being part of our group—we create the experience together. Your presence matters.
