Under certain circumstances, the Program instructor or Provider may decide to end a participant’s participation in the THRIVE Program before completion of the Program, or before beginning the Program, at Provider’s sole discretion. Participation may be terminated if any information provided or received before or during the course of this Program indicates that a participant could be in danger or distress, in need of professional medical or mental-health services, disruptive to other participants, and/or at risk of harm to themselves or someone else.

To support feelings of trust, safety, and openness during meetings, the THRIVE Program instructor will strongly encourage all participants to respect and uphold confidentiality for all participants by not sharing any information participants disclose during the Program to third parties or outsiders.
