The Importance of Privacy
in TCMC’s Support Groups

by Joe Szurszewski

The expectation of confidentiality is why TCMC support groups work. When a man talks about his feelings, he does so because what he says is held in the strictest confidence. He knows that nothing he says and nothing of his story will be repeated outside the room. He also knows that his very presence in the group will never be discussed outside the group. This expectation is essential to providing a safe space for men to talk, and is something upon which there can be no compromise. If you have any questions about TCMC’s privacy policy, feel free to talk to your support group facilitator, or contact the Support Group Coordinator Norm Petrik, or myself.
