Typical hazards & measures
Unsupervised participants in breaks
— Ensure supervision is present during breaks, especially for younger participants. Use breaks as an opportunity for light, positive interaction rather than an emotional free-for-all.
Inappropriate location
— Choose a private, neutral, and safe environment for the sessions. The space should be quiet, free of interruptions, and conducive to both group discussions and one-on-one conversations.
Transport issues for participants
— Arrange safe and reliable transportation options for participants who may not have access. Partner with local services to offer transportation grants or provide group transport options. Ensure all drivers are background checked and vehicles are safe.
Cultural or religious insensitivity
— Train facilitators to understand cultural and religious differences. Encourage respect for diversity and establish ground rules for culturally sensitive discussions. Make accommodations for religious practices during sessions, ensuring inclusivity.
Emotional distress during discussions
— Establish a protocol for stopping the discussion if emotional distress becomes overwhelming, and ensure support staff or counselors are available to provide individual care. Conduct pre-group assessments to understand triggers and use check-ins after sessions.
