As our Discovery planning is become more finalized and ‘real’, we feel we are making progress and are finally working towards something tangible. As the members say, we can “see a light at the end of the tunnel”.
Having moved out of the first year, we have the perspective to know that we needed to spend time Dawning, where we build relationships (authentic partnerships) and gain the knowledge necessary to support the rest of the AI journey. We discuss how we feel comfortable enough with one another to share openly and safely within the group. What great meetings we have been having!
One interesting thing that we learned this month is that there are various ethics and financial restrictions and protocols that surround research within community groups. For example, we wanted to avoid sending Discovery recruitment material to clients registered with multiple agencies but were stumped on how to do this without violating privacy regulations. Our group began working on developing a protocol that would help widen the circle of care in order to ethically alleviate duplicate addresses on multiple mailing lists. What a great protocol - perhaps other community groups will find it helpful.
