Our programs are a combination of MSP covered group visits and administration fee to the patient. There is an upfront cost of $85.00 that is required at the time you register for our programs.  From the $85.00 charged, $45.00 is a registration and administration fee for all programs that is non-refundable and important for the sustainability of this service.  The $40.00 no-show fee is collected and is returned upon completion of the program with full attendance to all sessions or up to 1 missed session.  If you miss 2 or more sessions for any reason, the no-show fee will NOT be returned.

Your enrolment in the group means you have agreed to attend all sessions and complete the assigned weekly home practices.  At course completion, we will ask you to fill out an evaluation form and offer suggestions for improvements.  Please be aware that your facilitator(s) will track your experience in the program by completing weekly notes, which is required as part of the MSP funding arrangement.  At the completion of the program, your family physician will receive a brief summary note from your facilitators.
