Members,

I would like to commit to you that I will participate in the weekly program discussions. I will do my best to ask discussion stimulating questions. I will be here to listen and support members.

• I would like all members to treat all other members and Health Educators with respect and non-judgement.
• I would like all members to try to remain positive about program content. Although we may hit roadblocks I would like all members to try to work through the program together and not to give up.
• I would like members to be careful not to offend other members but also to freely and genuinely discuss thoughts and feelings surrounding the program.
• I would like members to remain on topic of program content. If members would like to discuss other topics unrelated to the thread topic or program content then please create another thread to discuss these issues.
• I would also like members who have already went through the program to feel free to share and commit here. It will be a good refresher! 
  

To offer our members optimum benefits of the Depression Centre Program; The Depression Centre team is now offering group program walkthroughs! Each week we will focus on one session in the program. Health Educators will ask questions and members will be free to answer, provide support to other members and discuss the session’s content. 

Your Commitment

All members are free to stop by at any time but before we begin we would like to get a commitment from individual members to insure that we have a good number of actively participating group members. The more engaged you are in the support group the more likely you will benefit from the program! If you can commit to doing one session per week and participating in the discussions weekly or even daily, please post your name in this forum. By posting here you are making a commitment to support your fellow members.  We will not begin the program walkthrough until we get a commitment from at least five members so please commit now!

Designing our Alliance

In your commitment post you are also encouraged to write what expectations you have. By setting our expectations early we can insure that all members get what they want out of our program walkthroughs. For instance, what would you like to get out of the group? How would you like other members to respond to you? What kind of support would you like to receive from Health Educators? These points will be open for discussion, a Health Educator will summarize agreed upon expectations before the beginning of the examination of Session One.
