Belonging to a transitional living program requires that each member do his/her part in the upkeep of the environment.
- You are responsible for keeping your own room clean, doing your own laundry, and completing your assigned job responsibilities in the house. Being a member of the community also requires that you keep in mind both your needs and the needs of others.
- You are responsible for treating peers and staff members with respect. This includes helping peers whenever possible.
- You are encouraged to take responsibility for your own and other residents' safety and health.
- You are responsible for being at all meetings and other events for which you are scheduled on time and ready to participate.
- You are responsible for getting what you need by:
- Asking for help when you need it
- Sharing your feelings with staff and peers
- Staying away from initiating, engaging in, encouraging, and/or supporting the unhealthy behavior of others
- Telling the truth and doing what you think is right (which include doing unto others as you would want them to do unto you)
- Achieving your Recovery Plan goals
- Helping others achieve their goals if possible
If you have any information that another client plans to do something to harm himself/herself or others, please report this immediately to a staff person. It is important that you understand that this should not be viewed as "snitching" but instead protects program clients and represents an act of responsible care and concern for others on your part.
