Together: Young Adult Group Liability Waiver & Participant Agreement
Effective Date: March 5, 2025
1. Introduction
Together: Young Adult Group (“the Group”) is a peer-led support initiative operated under Johnny’s Ambassadors (“the Organization”). The Group aims to foster knowledge, strength, and resilience among peers who have experienced and want to prevent Cannabis Induced Psychosis (CIP). Participation is voluntary, and all participants must be at least 18 years of age and sign up personally.
2. Assumption of Risk
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge and understand that the Group is a peer-led support initiative and does not provide medical, psychiatric, or professional counseling services. Participation involves personal discussions and shared experiences that may be emotionally triggering. The Group leaders and participants are not licensed medical professionals, and any discussions or advice shared should not be considered professional medical guidance. Participation in virtual meetings carries potential risks related to privacy and confidentiality, and while the Organization will take reasonable measures to protect privacy, confidentiality cannot be fully guaranteed.
If the Group facilitators have reason to believe you are in immediate danger, you authorize us to seek medical help for you.
3. Release of Liability
I, the undersigned, voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks, injuries, or damages—whether known or unknown—that may arise from my participation in the Group. I hereby release, waive, and discharge the Organization, its staff, volunteers, peer facilitators, and affiliates from any and all claims, liabilities, demands, and causes of action that may arise from my participation, including but not limited to emotional distress, discomfort, or mental health concerns that may arise from participation, any actions or advice given by fellow participants or facilitators, and unauthorized sharing of personal information by other participants.
4. Confidentiality Agreement
I agree to respect the confidentiality of all participants. This includes not sharing identifying details of fellow participants outside the Group, not recording, screenshotting, or distributing any information discussed in meetings, and maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all members.
5. Code of Conduct
I agree to participate in the Group with kindness, respect, and empathy. I understand that disruptive behavior, harassment, or breaches of confidentiality may result in removal from the Group.
6. Agreement to Seek Professional Help When Needed
I acknowledge that the Group is not a substitute for medical or professional care. If I am in crisis, experiencing severe distress, or require professional support, I agree to seek help from a licensed medical provider, therapist, or crisis support service.
7. Acknowledgment and Signature
I have read and fully understand this Liability Waiver & Participant Agreement. By registering for this program, I acknowledge that I am at least 18 years old and agree to the terms of this waiver. In short, the waiver is saying:
· You’re participating voluntarily and understand the group is peer-led, not professional counseling.
· There are risks involved, including emotional distress and privacy concerns.
· You’re responsible for your own well-being and release the organization from liability for any harm (emotional, mental, or otherwise) that may arise.
· Confidentiality is expected, meaning you won’t share personal details from the group.
· You must act respectfully, and breaking the rules could result in removal.
· You should seek professional help if needed, as this group isn’t a substitute for therapy.
Thank you for joining Together: Young Adult Group. We look forward to fostering a space for support, healing, and growth.
