Program Contract
Program Contract - A STEADY SPACE, LLC
GENERAL
Participation in this program is a mutual endeavor in which the facilitator contributes knowledge and skill in life management, effective communication, conflict resolution and mediation and to which, you, the participant, bring specialized personal knowledge and a commitment to work on your own challenges. The goals of our work together include but are not limited to increasing communication and stress management skills with exploration and practice of emotional intelligence. General goals include promoting a greater self-awareness of feelings, motivations, behavior and interactions with other persons in your life. This awareness and understanding will hopefully promote clarification of personal goals, values and priorities and, thus, enable you to cope with life’s tasks in a more directed and fulfilling manner. The results of participating in this program are not guaranteed. Your participation may lead to results that were not originally intended.
The facilitator may provide feedback to you in order to generate insight and provide new skills. At times, this may involve confrontation of certain beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors as a device that will allow for risking new behaviors beyond the present level of function.
Many factors may influence the effectiveness of the programs, and your facilitator will continually monitor your progress and make adjustments as necessary. You can improve the effectiveness of your participation by attending sessions regularly. It is also possible that you and/or you family members may experience changes as a result of your involvement; these changes may be undesirable or uncomfortable. Change can be uncomfortable in and of itself, and may upset a given family system or equilibrium. Any concerns in this regard should be discussed with your facilitator.

STATEMENT OF VOLUNTEER STATUS
I declare that I am enrolling in sessions voluntarily, and not as a result of any attorney recommendation, probation recommendation, DSFS requirement, or court order. I understand these services are not therapy and I should not expect results similar to those from a licensed mental health provider. I understand that my volunteer status means that there is to be no expectation on my part to receive a written report from A Steady Space, LLC staff reflective of my attendance or progress. As a result, I will NOT be provided a written report from A Steady Space, LLC staff.
AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE
I have been given the opportunity to have any and all questions answered relevant to my participation in programming offered by A Steady Space, LLC. I understand this is an educational program, and not a form of psychotherapy or counseling.
I acknowledge A Steady Space, LLC has no responsibility to enforce any court rulings or my attendance. I understand it is my responsibility to attend sessions and to complete the program in the amount of time allocated by the courts (if applicable).
I understand my facilitator may consult with other professionals in the field in order to plan and prepare for the sessions, as well as to meet the specific needs of each participant. I have been advised regarding the limits of maintaining privacy and confidentiality.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND TELECOMMUNICATION
Due to the importance of your confidentiality and the importance of minimizing dual relationships, I do not accept friend or contact requests from current or former clients on any social networking site (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). I believe adding clients as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your confidentiality and our respective privacy. It may also blur the boundaries of our professional relationship. If you have questions about this, please ask when we meet so we can discuss this further.
PARTNERS, FAMILIES & COMPANIES
If you are working with me as part of a couple, family, organization or any scenario other than individual, one member of your party is able to make changes to payment, times, consents and anything else required to continue services for the other party.
MINORS
If you are a minor, your parents may be legally entitled to some information about your treatment. I will discuss with you and your parents what information is appropriate for them to receive and which issues are more appropriately kept confidential.
