Group coaching

WEEKLY GROUP COACHING

Thursdays at 4:00 PM Eastern Time

Group coaching is a place to learn from other students, share useful strategies, practice new skills, and recognize that you are not the only person working through challenges. Participation is encouraged, and you are never pressured to disclose private information.

Inside each group session
  • · Upcoming session countdown
  • · Add-to-calendar button
  • · Secure participant-only meeting link
  • · Session topic and a short preparation question
  • · Downloadable worksheet
  • · Attendance confirmation
  • · Post-session reflection
  • · Group agreements and previous session resources
  • · Announcements from Mauro

Session duration is set by the administrator in program settings.

Group privacy agreement
  • · Do not record sessions.
  • · Do not take or share screenshots.
  • · Do not repeat another participant's personal story.
  • · Respect different backgrounds, goals, and experiences.
  • · Share only what you are comfortable sharing.
  • · Allow others time to speak.
  • · Do not mock, shame, or personally attack another participant.

AFA establishes confidentiality expectations for group coaching, but cannot guarantee that another participant will honor them.

Private coaching

PRIVATE SESSIONS ARE SCHEDULED INDIVIDUALLY

You submit the days and times that work for you. Coach Mauro confirms one and sends the details. Mauro's full calendar is never displayed publicly.

In your portal you can
  • · Request a session with multiple preferred times
  • · View confirmed sessions
  • · Request a reschedule or cancellation
  • · Add a note about what you want to discuss
  • · Complete a session preparation form
  • · Add the session to your calendar
  • · Open a secure private meeting link
  • · Read your post-session action summary
YOUR PRIVATE COACHING SPACE

Your individual coaching sessions are private and treated confidentially. Before coaching begins, Coach Mauro will explain the appropriate safety, legal, and minor-protection exceptions.

For students under 18, the boundaries of parent or guardian communication are explained before the first session, so the student, parent, and coach all understand what stays private and what may need to be shared.

We do not promise unlimited or legally absolute confidentiality.
