Code Of Conduct

Purpose

This Code of Conduct exists to establish clear expectations for participation in Wholistic MENtorship. The goal is to create an environment rooted in respect, accountability, personal responsibility, and growth. This program is designed to support clarity, alignment, and disciplined action, not dependency or avoidance.

Participation in Wholistic MENtorship indicates agreement with the standards outlined below.

Professional Mentorship Relationship

Wholistic MENtorship is a professional mentoring engagement. It is not therapy, counseling, medical treatment, or crisis intervention. Mentorship sessions are structured conversations focused on clarity, responsibility, and forward movement.

Clients remain fully responsible for their decisions, actions, and outcomes.

Expectations of Participants

Participants in Wholistic MENtorship are expected to:

* Engage honestly and directly during sessions

* Take ownership of personal decisions, behaviors, and follow-through

* Arrive on time and prepared for scheduled sessions

* Respect the time, boundaries, and role of the mentor

* Apply agreed-upon actions between sessions

Progress requires active participation. Mentorship is collaborative, but responsibility remains with the participant.

Respectful Conduct

All communication within Wholistic MENtorship must remain respectful and constructive.

The following are not permitted:

* Harassment, intimidation, or abusive language

* Disrespectful, discriminatory, or demeaning remarks

* Attempts to manipulate, pressure, or control the mentor or process

* Repeated disregard for agreed boundaries or expectations

A respectful tone is required at all times, regardless of topic or emotional intensity.

Boundaries and Scope

Mentorship sessions are limited to the agreed scope of professional mentoring. The mentor does not:

* Provide medical, mental health, or legal advice

* Serve as an emergency or crisis resource

* Replace licensed professional services

Participants experiencing crisis situations are encouraged to seek appropriate professional or emergency support.

Accountability and Follow-Through

Wholistic MENtorship emphasizes accountability. Participants are expected to:

* Follow through on commitments made during sessions

* Communicate openly when challenges or resistance arise

* Accept feedback and redirection without defensiveness

Avoidance, chronic disengagement, or repeated non-participation may result in reassessment of fit.

Scheduling and Attendance

Participants are expected to honor scheduled sessions.

* Missed sessions without proper notice may be forfeited

* Chronic cancellations or rescheduling may result in termination of the mentorship relationship

Specific scheduling and cancellation terms are outlined separately in booking and billing agreements.

Confidentiality

Information shared during mentorship sessions is treated as confidential within the limits of the law.

Exceptions include:

* Threats of harm to self or others

* Situations requiring mandatory reporting

* Legal obligations

Participants are expected to respect the confidentiality of the mentor and any shared materials.

Termination of Engagement

Wholistic MENtorship reserves the right to terminate an engagement if:

* This Code of Conduct is repeatedly violated

* The relationship is no longer constructive or aligned

* Boundaries are not respected

Termination may occur without refund depending on the circumstances and existing agreements.

By engaging in Wholistic MENtorship, participants acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to abide by this Code of Conduct.

This Code of Conduct exists to protect the integrity of the process and support meaningful growth for those who choose to participate.
