Negotiating Norms

Norms are important in any activity or exercise with others. Raise the following questions at morning tea or coffee or after work.

  • What conversation topics are allowed and/or disallowed in this group?
  • Would the group be prepared to discuss mental health issues like grief and loss?
  • How can we manage differences of opinion?
  • How can we manage disclosure and distress?
