GROUP NORMS & COMMUNITY AGREEMENTS

Group Agreements

​

Confidentiality is the foundation of this group. Without it, trust and safety cannot exist. What is said here stays here.

​

To keep this space welcoming, safe, and grounded in mutual respect, we ask everyone to uphold the following agreements. These are not rules for the sake of rules. They are a shared commitment to how we care for one another and ourselves.

​

Privacy and Confidentiality​

What is said in this group stays in this group.

  • Do not repeat, copy, or share anyone’s words or experiences outside this space. Breaking confidentiality will not be tolerated.

  • Participation is always voluntary. Silence is welcome.

 

Respect personal boundaries. 

  • No one is obliged to reply to private messages.

  • Speak From Your Own Experience

  • Share your truth without prescribing what is right for others.Avoid advice giving, fixing, or judging.

  • Focus on your own story rather than someone else’s choices.

  • Words Matter

 

Language can build trust or harm it. Choose your words with care.

  • Be mindful of tone, assumptions, and labels.

  • We are here to support, not correct, criticise, or control.

​

Respect Differences​

  • We will not always connect with everyone, and that is okay.

  • Kindness and respect are not optional.

  • No blaming or shaming.

  • Each of us is responsible for our own choices.

​

When Something Feels Off

  • If something does not sit well with you, contact the leadership team privately (info@thesoscollective.com).

  • Everyone deserves a chance to reflect and self-correct.

  • Feedback is given with care, not punishment.

​

Consequences for Violations

To protect the safety and dignity of all members:

​

  • First, a private and respectful reminder of expectations will be given.

  • Continued behaviour may result in being asked to step away, either temporarily or permanently.

  • In serious cases, including harassment, targeted comments, or breaches of confidentiality, immediate removal may be necessary.

​

We Are All Learning

This is a practice space for honesty, humility, and compassion. We all make mistakes. What matters is accountability and growth.

 

With love from the whole sober team,
Lisa, Linda, Lynn, Beth, Prudence & Katelyn
