FIRST
VISIT.

Know the shape of the room before you enter.

A practical orientation to what may be familiar, what remains your choice, and what must be verified for a particular group.

01

Check the label

Open and closed meetings have different attendance boundaries. Confirm the current meeting listing.

02

Prepare one thing

Choose an entrance question, seat preference, support-person plan, or clear way to pause.

03

Keep choices reversible

Listen, speak, pass, pause, step outside, or leave. The app does not mark a result.

04

Protect names

Do not photograph, record, identify, or disclose people encountered in a meeting.

What may be familiar

Many meetings use a circle or rows of chairs and have someone who opens and closes the gathering. Formats vary by group.

What you control

You choose where to sit, how much to say, whether to remain, and whether to speak with anyone afterward.

What this guide cannot know

There is no live timetable, room-change alert, attendance status, accessibility confirmation, or group-specific instruction in the app.
