Event Participation:

– I understand that the teachers, self-compassion mentors, facilitators and assistants are not expected or able to provide medical and/or psychological care.

– I agree that, in the event a teacher, self-compassion mentor, facilitator, or assistant determines that I need professional medical or psychological attention, the teacher, self- compassion mentor, facilitator, or assistant has the authority and sole discretion to contact 911 or other emergency services if it is possible to do so.

– Any costs incurred for health services are my responsibility and not the responsibility of the teachers, self-compassion mentors, facilitators, or assistants.

– I further understand that participation in the online MSC Advanced Webinars is at the discretion of the teachers, self-compassion mentors, facilitators and assistants at all times. If, in the opinion of the teachers, self-compassion mentors, facilitators, or assistants I am unable to continue to participate productively in the course, I may be asked to discontinue it.

– If I am taking prescription medications of any kind and discontinue taking them during the program, this may be grounds to be asked to discontinue the program.

– I understand that the online MSC Core Skills Training is a compassion skills training program, not group therapy. Online MSC is designed to teach participants the tools needed to develop and cultivate a mindfulness and self-compassion practice. I understand that online MSC is not a substitute for mental health care, personal therapy or medical treatment of any kind.

– I understand that personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self- compassion training and that I am primarily responsible for my own safety. I will not push myself to do anything that feels distressing or harmful. If I feel overwhelmed, I will stop what I am doing or slow down until I feel comfortable again. If I need to discuss a personal matter, I can consult with a teacher, self-compassion mentor, facilitator or assistant, but I understand that the opinions of others are not a substitute for caring for myself in the best way I know.
