Circle of Support Vow

I vow to:

• Provide a safe place for the individual to stay—at my own or another mem-ber’s home or at the home of someone I trust—if she or he must leave their own home.

• Provide food and the necessities of life if the individual is cut off from fi nancial resources.

• Never condone or ignore any abusive behaviour or comments targeted at the individual.

• Respect the individual’s confi dentiality and never repeat anything she or he has told you, or give any information to anyone outside the Circle without the individual’s informed consent.

• Use all my strength, knowledge, love and resources to protect and support the individual for as long as she or he needs your protection and support.
