Meetings:
The minutes below are from Fraser South EPI family support group meetings and are provided here
for your information. These meetings are still continuing even though the minutes of recent meetings
are not being added. The initial concept was to provide a model that other groups could follow in order
to provide support meetings in their own region. We have found that when the meetings are kept reasonably
flexible and facilitated with the attendees current interests in mind. they can be very valuable.
The meetings below were limited to families of Fraser South EPI clients.
Minutes of group meetings are provided here to allow sharing of issues discussed only. No personal detail, or client
names are included.
The following "Norms" apply to the meetings:
· Retain respect for each other
· Recognize that there are no experts in the room
· Confidentiality of individual issues must be mutually assured
· If somebody prefers to remain quiet and just watch, that is fully acceptable.
· "This is not meant as a therapy group," It's a support group that respects all the different cultural backgrounds represented."
· Group is meant to increase knowledge of how to cope with psychosis through positive feedback and ideas
