Welcome to our supportive and empowering networking meeting! This is a space for growth, learning, and accountability as we work towards our goals together.

Please note:

• While this networking meeting offers support and guidance, it is not a substitute for therapy.

• Fresh Starts reserves the right to remove anyone from the weekly Zoom sessions and/or revoke their membership for any reason they deem fit - particularly acting outside of the community guidelines laid out below.

To foster a safe and positive environment for everyone, let's agree to the following guidelines:

Openness and Growth:

• Be open to feedback and different perspectives.

• Acknowledge your successes and celebrate those of others.

• Focus on personal growth and solutions.

Focus and Boundaries:

• Our networking meeting is designed for personal development, not therapy.

• Mute your microphone when not speaking to avoid background noise.

Remember:
