*HOUSE HAPPENINGS *
*"Let's Kick Ass" coffee social at Friends for Life on Friday, February 14
and 28, 2020*
Let's Kick ASS (Aids Survival Syndrome) is a movement established in 2013
by Tez Anderson, and is committed to empowering long-term survivors of HIV
and AIDS, and raising awareness for AIDS Survivor Syndrome. With the
improvement of the outlook for people living with HIV, issues like aging
are becoming more important for the community to address. The
campaign seeks to raise awareness about this increasingly important
topic. On Friday, February 14 and February 28 from 3-5 p.m., we will have a
coffee social. All are welcome.
* Expressive
Arts Therapy workshop starting soon!*
There are 4 spots left! Sign up at the front desk or call 604-682-5992.
Participants will have the opportunity to explore, play, and create
together with an assortment of arts materials and forms, in a nourishing
and encouraging environment. No art experience or skill necessary.
*What is Expressive Arts Therapy?*
Expressive Arts Therapy is a counselling practice that uses various art
modalities in a supportive setting to facilitate growth and healing. In
sessions, we support people to engage their senses and imagination through
the use of the arts – including visual arts, play, movement, sound,
writing, and storytelling – dependent on people’s interests and needs. We
focus on what is working in people’s lives, through a process of accessing
and expanding our innate abilities of self-awareness, healing and growth.
No particular background, skill or ability is needed to participate. The
process is not about analyzing the art or about making "good" art. All that
is needed is a willingness to experiment and explore.

*BOOKING POLICY*
In response to feedback and suggestions from client-members, and in an
effort to improve access to the practitioners, the following guidelines
have been put into place as of April 1, 2018.
Booking limits will now be enforced on a month-by-month basis. This will
make it easier for both client-members and staff to keep track of
appointment numbers. This change will also see an increase in overall
yearly booking limits to 72 per client-member.
1. You may book up to two sessions with any one practitioner per calendar
month, except when otherwise stated. (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday massage
therapy sessions are considered three different practitioners).
2. You may hold up to a total of six sessions for all practitioners per
calendar month, except when otherwise stated. In case of house recess, one
appointment will be deducted from your limit for every week of closure. For
instance, an August closure could last two weeks, meaning two appointments
would be deducted from your allotment. Client-members who refer new
client-members, volunteers or practitioners to the house, or who volunteer
themselves, are eligible for an increase in their monthly booking limit.
Contact info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca for more information.
3. In case of a breach of booking limits, client-members will, in the first
instance, be informed through email and be asked to cancel the number of
appointments necessary to ensure equal distribution of appointments. Upon
further breaches, Friends for Life may cancel client-member appointments
and/or suspend them from booking any further appointments for a period.
4. When a client-member books an appointment, appointment emails are sent
to the client-member and to the practitioner. Client-members are expected
to confirm their upcoming appointments through a further confirmation by
email and text by BookedIn in the days before the appointment. If you do
not receive a confirmation email, please contact
info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca.
5. Client-members are expected to show up for every appointment they have
booked and must also be at the house at least ten minutes prior to the
appointment. Late arrivals and no-shows are noted in BookedIn and a number
of late or no-show appointments may result in cancellation of future
bookings and/or suspension of booking privileges.
6. Client-members may sign up to be on the cancellation list for a
practitioner (Click here
<https://friendsforlife.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=21612d99d1f3008d07ea8f1fb&id=3e371b5b95&e=7a68f439b0>).
Appointments made through the cancellation list do not count towards the
monthly appointment limit of 6.
7. Under no circumstances should sessions be transferred to another
client-member. If cancellation is unavoidable, client-members must send an
email to info at vancouverfriendsforlife.ca immediately. Under most
circumstances, a cancellation within a 24-hour period of your session will
be considered a ‘no show’. When you cancel, you may offer the name of
someone else who may be interested in filling your appointment.
8. When booking appointments, you accept these terms.
We thank you for your cooperation, as we work towards a fair and equitable
system for everyone.
