Section 1 - Assumption of Risk and Personal Responsibility MKP-Canada

Acknowledgment regarding assumption of risk and taking personal responsibility.

Acknowledgment of Risks

This is a document whereby you acknowledge the risks involved in ManKind Project Canada Inc. TRAINING and confirm your commitment to take personal responsibility for your own safety. The Training generally takes place in a youth camp environment, with facilities that are often basic and in remote settings. Some of the activities are very physical and may take place outside on difficult terrain where you will be exposed to the elements. This is no spa. You will have the opportunity to look deeply into your life to see what’s working, what isn’t working and what is driving the unhealthy patterns of how you show up in your relationships and in your life. The work you will do on the Training is physically, emotionally and psychologically challenging. It isn’t for everyone. None of the activities or processes on the Training are compulsory. Any man may choose to not participate in any process or activity. It is your responsibility to determine for yourself whether you are ready for the TRAINING. We do, however, challenge you to move out of your comfort zone and dare to discover your potential. We are an inclusive, welcoming community. We have had men from many different walks of life and at very different stages in their lives participate in the TRAINING. Men on the TRAINING range in age from 19 years to well into their elder years. Professional athletes and men who have quadriplegia can be found on these weekends. We insist that you be willing to look after yourself, know your limitations and have the courage to decline from participating in any activity or process which exposes you to risk beyond what you are willing to accept.

If you have any concern about your ability to participate in the TRAINING, we recommend that you obtain the opinion of one or more of any health care professionals involved in your care. We also ask that you describe your concerns in one of the spaces above, so we can be aware of your situation.

By submitting this form, you are acknowledging that there are risks associated with attending an TRAINING, that you are voluntarily assuming those risks, that you have sought the opinion of your health care professional (if that is applicable), that you are committing to look after yourself on the TRAINING weekend, and that you will take personal responsibility for your own safety. You further certify that you have disclosed all physical, psychological, and psychiatric conditions that may impact your participation at the TRAINING.
