Group Member Intake Process

Support group membership intake begins with filling out an application form to let us know what group is of interest, preferences, and details on the relationship with the topic.

A response can sometimes take around one month. We stress the importance of reading the guidelines. A link will be sent to agree to the guidelines, which then leads to setting a time and day for a group intake video call over Zoom with up to ten applicants. The intake is a chance to learn the format in group setting, and the applicants can ask questions or address concerns about the groups. This appointment allows more of a barrier between the public and the link in accessing the groups, which protects members’ safety and privacy.

An Emergency Contact Person’s name and phone number, who can be a therapist, friend, or family member, is required. This is in case something happens on the other side of the screen during a call that requires assistance. 

The monthly and yearly subscription options are processed through our community network, which uses Stripe. 

Members are then connected to the group category and day/time of their choice.
