Cancellation Policy
If clients cannot attend a meeting, they are asked to inform the facilitator, or the Resilient Health administrator, in advance if possible. We are not able to refund the group fee, or any portion thereof, unless the cancellation is due to a medical emergency. However, we will provide you with copies of any materials (e.g., worksheets, readings, etc.) you may have missed.
Additionally, it may be possible for you to book an individual session with the group leader, to ‘catch up’ (an additional charge, equivalent to the group leader’s rate for individual appointments, would typically apply).
Guidelines & Expectations
By signing up, the participant is making a commitment to themselves, and to the other group participants. All group members are expected to be respectful, participate actively and appropriately, and maintain the confidentiality of what their groupmates share in group. Another part of this respect is to attend consistently, and arrive on time, in a clear and sober state of mind.
These groups require that their members trust one another. All participants need to honour the rule what’s shared in group stays in group.
