Formulate ground rules on the training workshop Content: Workshop expectations, ground rules, workshop objectives and mechanisms. GROUND RULES: • CONFIDENTIALITY: What you say in the group stays in the group. You can talk about your experiences outside the group, but it is unacceptable to talk about others’ experiences outside the group. • LEAVING THE GROUP: The session usually lasts an hour and a half. There are no formal breaks during this time. Restroom breaks are sometimes necessary. We ask that you quietly leave the room and return. • TREATMENT ISSUES: You are here because you desire changes in your life. You are responsible for your treatment issues. It is not the responsibility of the group members to drag the issues but you. No one will make you stay here, and no one will make you participate. • FOCUS OF THE GROUP: The primary focus of this group is to explore ways to manage your stress levels and behavioral responses, especially angry responses. You are responsible, as part of the group, for keeping the focus there. • PARTICIPATION: You are responsible for your individual level of participation in the group. Know that your progress toward wellness depends on your participation, and not the groups or leader’s. Everyone here is a leader and a helper. • RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER: As a member of the group, you can expect to be heard, and we want you to have the opportunity to be heard. Thus, it is best for one person to speak at a time. Please give your attention to the speaker.
