Make the Support Agreement Specific

Arrange a conversation that turns “be there for me” into a feasible agreement.

UNDERSTAND

What is happening here?

Vague promises can leave both people guessing. A support agreement benefits from a specific request, a freely chosen offer, privacy expectations, and a backup. Agreements can change when capacity or safety changes; they are not contracts for controlling recovery.

For thoughtful facilitation

Open with the concept, demonstrate one fictional example, allow individual exploration or paired discussion, and close with one optional takeaway. Ask what fits the participant’s culture, language, access needs, and present capacity. Invite observation instead of disclosure; do not interpret participation as a measure of motivation.

Fit and care: Use manageable or fictional examples and adapt within competence. This is educational practice, not diagnosis, crisis care, or individualized treatment.
