Time: Attending on time and ensuring that they are capable and available physically and emotionally to participate. All participants will have an opportunity to share their experiences in a timely manner.

If a participant does not want to participate and share, they can pass on their turn without judgment. However, it is important for all in the group to be introduced to each other.

Anyone outside this group must disclose their affiliation and purpose for attending to the support group leader before the meeting.
Everything shared in the support group meeting is confidential. This means that it stays within the group. The exception is in the case of abuse, crime or physical harm. This will be reported to the appropriate authority.
Identity Verification: To help protect the privacy and safety of everyone attending, all participants are required to identify themselves when joining the meeting. Individuals who cannot be identified may not be admitted or may be removed from the meeting.

The use of AI tools to record, transcribe, summarize or analyze the meeting is not permitted.
Meeting content cannot be shared, distributed, published, or posted to third parties or on any platform, including but not limited to social media, websites, messaging platforms, or other public or private channels. Participants who do not comply with these requirements may be removed from the meeting and may be prohibited from attending future DMRF Canada events.
