• Your time with your counsellor will be all about you 
• Your counsellor won’t talk about him or herself
• Your counsellor’s job is to listen to you, to help you with your grief and all that comes with it

• You have choices about what you discuss in your meeting
• You can share as much as you wish about any topic
• Let your counsellor know if you decide you no longer want to come to your sessions
• You can say no to anything your counsellor suggests?we just ask you to be open to trying new things
• It is important you are honest so your counsellor can understand your story and your feelings

• Respect your privacy
• All the counsellors are part of a team at Hospice Calgary so your counsellor may ask for your permission to share your story with their team. They will not share your name unless permission is given or they can use an alias if preferred
• Be open to any questions you have and be honest with you
