You are very welcome to chat to other attendees and make friends.

Sometimes people walk back to the bus stop together or organise to meet up for coffee. We often share deeply personal things in group, and can sometimes come away feeling really connected to each other. It makes sense that we might want to become friends.

None of this is mandatory though! You are never obligated to meet up with someone simply because they also come to group. We acknowledge that as adults, we can all make our own decisions about forming new connections. Saying this, we still want to make sure you feel safe in group.

If someone from group is making you uncomfortable, we encourage you to be upfront about how they are making you feel - some people may not know where a boundary is until you tell them.
If someone from group ignores your boundaries, is being highly inappropriate, or is making you feel unsafe, please let us know by chatting to us before/after group or by emailing us at info@discharged.asn.au
