Here are some foundational rules for support groups.
Group Rules – Parent Support Group
1. Confidentiality
What is said in the group, needs to stay in the group. Trusting that this is a safe space is really important.
2. No Identifying Information
Please do not tell us the names of staff, or the name of your child’s school. You may even want to consider keeping your child’s name private. You don’t even need to tell us your name.
3. Non-judgmental space.
Silence is welcomed for reflection and pause. People need time to process as sharing our stories can be triggering to others. We want to be supportive and thoughtful in our responses. People have different cultures and religious reasons for their parenting styles and approaches. It is not our place to expect other people to parent in the same way that we would parent.
4. Trauma-informed
We recognize that behaviours or reactions to situations could be reflective of trauma and so we don’t take these reactions personally. We give people time to process and not rush them to find their words and speak.
BLOGGING!
If you are a parent/guardian and you would like to write a blog on your experience in the education system please contact Secretary@bcedaccess.com.
You can remain anonymous. This is a way to share your story and raise awareness of what is happening in our education system.
I have been told my so many people, that if no one complains or speaks up, people assume that everything is fine and there are no issues.
Awareness is the first step towards change.
