Informed Consent Handout Analysis
Informed consent will be a handout provided along with the application, during the first session there will be an orientation that will review the informed consent with the group. Confidentiality will be covered in the informed consent handout, in the group rules and facilitators will be trained on this topic. Yalom and Leszcz (2005) stated, “Group members must maintain confidentiality to create a safe environment for the work of therapy and to develop trust within the group” (p. 568). However, there is always a risk of confidentiality being broken in a group due to the nature of being humans. Also, an ethical concern for the facilitators is that in Nebraska they are legally mandated reporters of certain types of abuse, such as child abuse.
