  • Participants in "The 8 Foundations of Balanced Caregiving" agree to maintain the confidentiality of the other participants. Toward that end, participants should not discuss the personal material shared by anyone in a live session with individuals outside the group, or divulge the names or other details of participants that could lead to someone identifying a particular individual.
  • "8 Foundations of Balanced Caregiving" class sessions are an opportunity to practice embodied, compassionate listening and speaking/messaging. That means that the general guidelines familiar to MSC groups are carried over to these sessions, such as non-judgment, non-fixing, respecting differences, and taking personal responsibility for one’s own well-being.

  • Work done in the "The 8 Foundations of Balanced Caregiving" can be activating, and so we require each participant to have ongoing support available for the duration of the course. This could include a therapist, a trusted mentor or coach, etc.
  • We will video record each online meeting to support and reinforce participant learning and to provide material to those who who need to miss a class. I herby give permission that the learning sessions in which I participate can be video recorded and shared with my coursemates. I agree that all information in audio or video recordings is confidential and not to be shared with anyone. To protect confidentiality, I will refrain from downloading any recordings. I understand that if I download any recording or share with anyone, I will be asked to leave the group. Class recordings will be retained only until the 10-week course ends.
