We will update these guidelines as often as necessary to reflect the current situation.
The clinic is now open for full clinical activity.
(As of February 21, 2021)
Please note: Our therapists continue to offer virtual sessions online or by phone.
The safety and comfort of our clients emotional and physical well-being is of utmost importance.
CLINIC- CLIENTS AND THERAPISTS

- Remote therapy remains a possibility but not necessarily preferable.
- For all clinic meetings:
- Masks in public spaces (halls)

- Please try to keep hygienic rules as before
- Masks off only if:
- Masks in public spaces (halls)
- We will NOT be distinguishing between those vaccinated and not vaccinated. Same rules for all. I think transparency about vaccination status of all involved is the best policy
- You may ask clients if they are vaccinated and inform them if you are vaccinated
- Only as a way of collecting information which will help you decide about comfort level for frontal meeting.
- Not as a way of deciding for or against a frontal meeting solely based on vaccination status. (see next Corona Times for explanation)
- Therapists and clients do NOT come to clinic if there is any question of being ill
TRAINING
- The courses for more than 10 people remain virtual
- Small courses (Men’s PGL) can be in person if the instructor so prefers
- All larger courses (essentially all courses except men’s PGL) remain remote
- Masks on during the sessions
- Hygiene as above
- No discrepancy between vaccinated and not vaccinated.
SUPERVISION
