By signing below, you indicate (6) that you fully understand that the Retreat is not able to provide you with counseling services. The retreat leaders and coaches, even if also employed elsewhere as mental health professionals, do NOT work for you as mental health professionals but rather as retreat facilitators, trainers, guides, and coaches only.  Your retreat leaders will not provide you with a mental health diagnosis or mental health treatment. By signing below, you (7) acknowledge that you understand this and that you have NO expectation of receiving mental health counseling or treatment from Boundaried Coaching LLC or this Retreat, as the focus of Boundaried Coaching and its program niche is specifically to educate adults in the development of healthy boundaries (inside and out), which includes personal growth and empowerment.

By signing below, you indicate that you understand some of the subject matter in the Retreat may be triggering or emotionally difficult at times for a variety of reasons(8). You understand that every personal relationship and context is different, and that attending the Retreat and/or engaging in healthier boundaries cannot guarantee a specific desired outcome. For example, while some relationships will respond very well to healthier boundaries, other relationships may come to an end.  Controlling other people's responses to a participant's healthier boundaries is beyond the scope of this Retreat.  Your signature indicates that (9) you have adequate coping skills for safely navigating any difficult or strong emotions that may arise for you during the course of this Retreat, the awareness that outcomes may differ from participant to participant and situation to situation, as well as affirm you have access to adequate local resources in your area following the Retreat (such as a counselor) should you find you need additional help managing any difficult feelings or realizations that may come up during the Retreat or following your participation.

By signing below, you (10) indicate that you understand that in the unlikely event that you experience any significant mental health challenges or a physical health crisis during the Retreat, we are unable to help you navigate such within the scope and boundaries of the educational-coaching relationship and Retreat format, and may pause or end your participation in the Retreat during that time, without refund, in order to best serve your safety and health needs. This means that in the event of a health crisis of any kind, you will be expected to seek and utilize medical resources in your area for appropriate care.  If you are unable to call for help (such as if you are unconscious), we will call an ambulance so that you can be transported to the nearest emergency room in order to receive needed care. 

By signing below, you understand that you will be responsible for any and all medical bills that may result from any health issues or challenges that may arise during your Retreat time, as you agree that your medical health and care is 100% your responsibility at all times (11). This includes waiving all responsibility from the Company for any health issues, injuries, or accidents that you might experience or that might occur due to participation in the retreat or any retreat-related events or activities (whether during, before, or after the Retreat).  This also including waiving any responsibility or liability from the owners of the retreat site, agreeing that they have no responsibility for any health issues, accidents, challenges that may occur or that you might experience at their location, on their property, or in or around their home(s). This includes any health issues or challenges that may arise if you choose to participate in the optional community dinners or activities (such as, if you choose to participate on an optional hike).  You understand that you are not require to participate in any outdoor activities, yoga classes, community dinners, or any other offered activities both in, during, or around the Retreat days.  When you choose to participate in retreat activities, you do so at your own risk and agree that you will be 100% responsible for any issues, accidents, injuries, or health challenges that may occur as a result of participating in those activities (12).

You understand that your coach(es) and many of the Retreat participants are mandated reporters, therefore any threat of significant harm to self or others will be reported either to the appropriate authorities.  You understand that we do not recommend new boundaries be set in any relationship with a history of violence, violent threats, or active violence and/or safety threats without first consulting with a domestic violence counselor and following their individualized safety advice. This may include working with the individual counselor to come up with an individualized safety plan, which is outside the scope of this Retreat.  Retreat participants are expected to remain 100% responsible for their safety needs for the duration of their Retreat experience and into the future. By signing this form, you also indicate that you are currently safe to participate in this Retreat and participation will not put you at risk of harm at home when you return (such as if you are currently in a domestically violent or unsafe relationship). Your signature on this form acknowledges that you agree to this and that you know how to access available safety-focused resources (such as domestic violence counselors, domestic violence shelters, 24/7 national hotlines, emergency services or legal authorities) in your area if/when safety is a concern. By signing below, you understand that individualized domestic violence counseling, individualized safety planning, context-specific safety advice, and/or assurance of your safety is beyond the scope or responsibility of this Retreat or its coaches (13).
