The care and support area governs how the network attends to the wellbeing of its members. It includes protocols for:
Mutual support – how groups attend to each other’s wellbeing.
Welcoming – how new members enter relationship with the network.
Each protocol requires ritual, critique and contemplation attending to: who carries the relational weight, who feels at home, and whose care is invisible.
This area is sketched at the principles level; its specific protocols remain to be developed.
