Typical hazards & measures

  • Confidentiality breachEnsure all participants understand the importance of confidentiality through signed agreements. Facilitators should regularly remind the group about maintaining privacy outside sessions.
  • Lack of emotional boundariesFacilitate the setting of personal boundaries at the start of the group. Encourage participants to express when they need emotional space, and model respectful boundary-setting behavior.
  • Lack of participant consentEnsure that informed consent is obtained from all participants or their guardians, detailing the purpose of the group, confidentiality policies, and the scope of support. Allow participants to withdraw from the group at any time without pressure.
  • Participants not opening upUtilize icebreaker activities and structured discussions to build trust. Facilitators should gradually introduce deeper conversations as the group becomes more comfortable with one another.
  • Inadequate facilitator trainingEnsure all facilitators have undergone comprehensive mental health first aid and youth crisis intervention training. Regularly update this training and provide refresher courses as needed.
