Typical hazards & measures
Triggers from participant stories
— Implement a system where participants can step out of the discussion if triggered, with a support person available for debriefing. Set clear boundaries for sharing stories to minimize triggering content.
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.
Participant isolation
— Create small, structured group activities that encourage interaction and inclusion. Facilitators should ensure no participant feels excluded or isolated during the sessions.
Bullying or negative group dynamics
— Set clear group rules against bullying or negative behaviors at the outset. Have a procedure for addressing such behaviors confidentially and constructively to maintain group harmony.
Participants with additional needs
— Conduct individual assessments prior to sessions to understand participants' additional needs, including physical, emotional, or learning disabilities. Make accommodations, such as having extra support staff or providing accessible resources and materials.
