Support Groups by County Affiliates & Multicultural Programs
Week of 11/22 - 11/28
|
|
The facilitators will take a few minutes to share an enhanced confidentiality reminder, emphasizing that we rely on callers to:
- Ensure that you and anyone else who can see or hear the call are members of the appropriate group.
- Note that Zoom and NAMI NJ collect basic information, such as IP address, zip code, etc.
- Calls will not be recorded. Please do not take screenshots or any recordings, or take notes with personal information.
- Please close your door, close your computer when you step away, use a headset, etc. as needed to preserve group privacy if you are not alone.
|
|
- Individuals on the call who are “mandated reporters” will announce themselves. Please note, that all residents of NJ are mandated reporters of known or potential harm to a child.
- Even with pre-registration, we have no way of knowing who is listening to our meetings. Therefore, we urge attendees to be cautious when sharing personal information or anything others might perceive of as dangerous or threatening.
- If you have something critical to communicate with the facilitator which is private, you can use the CHAT feature, addressing him/her only.
- Remember that as a team of statewide facilitators, we are less likely to have local crisis diversion resources and background than those in your local affiliate or multicultural group.
