To maintain a safe and focused environment, you agree to refrain from alcohol and illicit drug use during the training and to communicate with faculty or an assistant if prescribed medications may affect your participation.

• Respect for Privacy and Collective Care: While this training setting does not establish a client relationship or legal privilege of clinical confidentiality, we are committed to fostering a respectful and secure learning environment. You are expected to honor the privacy of fellow trainees, and your trainer will discuss the significance of confidentiality within the group. If you become aware of a concern involving another trainee, you are encouraged to bring it to the lead trainer or training staff so it can be addressed with care. Likewise, training staff reserve the right to address professionalism concerns with the lead trainer to uphold a safe and supportive space for all participants.

• Engaging in Your Own Work with Care: As part of the training, you will participate in a practicum experience, stepping into the roles of both therapist and client. This involves engaging in a small yet meaningful piece of your own authentic clinical work.

If you have a history of or are currently managing a significant mental health condition, you acknowledge that you are engaging in this training at your own discretion and are encouraged to communicate with faculty or staff if any concerns arise.
