If I am not safe, I will make arrangements to be safe, whether I need to call a friend, call my therapist, go to a safe place, or check into a hospital. Threats to harm self or others will be taken seriously. Discussion of feelings of self-harm or harm of others is not the same as a threat. If a participant tells me of any such intent, it is important that I inform the facilitator or leader of such intent. I understand that any self-injury and suicide attempts while at NHHI, on the premises including in the parking lot will be dealt with appropriately, and if needed emergency personnel called at my expense.
