HOPE New Beginnings

New Beginnings Intake/Questionnaire
New Beginnings is a support group for people who have completed the 2 year program. Topics discussed are a part of life after 24 months of grieving This is a working group, not a "drop in" social group. Socializing is a secondary benefit of attendance. In order to create a safe group to share, we ask that you commit to attending regularly and to say a proper goodbye when you decide to discontinue.

New Beginnings Agreement
Payment for Services:

The initial payment of $320 for the 8-week commitment is due in advance of the first group. After the 8-week commitment, you will be invoiced at the beginning of each month at the rate of $40 per group. Special arrangements may be made if there is a financial hardship. Since your membership in group involves the reservation of space specifically for you, missed sessions are not refundable.

Confidentiality:

All information disclosed within sessions is confidential. Anything that is said by anyone in group or names of persons in your group shall be held in the strictest confidence by all group members. Disclosure by HOPE Connection or the HOPE Connection staff is allowed and, in some cases, mandated by law in the following circumstances:
- There is sufficient evidence/reason to believe that you may do bodily harm to self or others.
- There is suspected occurrence of child abuse/neglect, elder or dependent adult abuse/neglect, by yourself or someone else, either current or past.
- You are gravely disabled.
The disclosure is required by legal mandate. The disclosure is necessitated by a medical emergency.

General Group Guidelines:

Missed sessions:

If you have an emergency and need to miss a group, contact your facilitator so that we know you will be absent. If 2 groups are missed in a row without notice, you will be dropped from the group roster. If 4 groups are missed in a row, with notice, we will talk to you about your commitment and it is possible you may be dropped from the roster.

Time Commitment:

You agree to attend at least 8 groups. This affords you the opportunity to get a sense of how the group works and encourages you to work through discomforts within the group rather than prematurely leaving.

Goodbye to Group:

After the 8-week commitment, you agree to give a minimum of a one-month notice if you plan to leave the group. You will attend two consecutive sessions during this termination period to give everyone an opportunity to finish an appropriate goodbye.
