a. members can establish trust with one another
b. fines can be levied as indicated or needed
c. information can be kept confidential
d. the leader's role is solidified and understood


A
The orientation phase is the time during the initial meetings of the group when the members establish trust with one another. During the orientation phase, the leader introduces the reason for bringing the individuals into the group. The goal of this phase is that the participants develop a sense of belonging to the group. This sense of belonging occurs over time and only when the participants get to know and trust each other. Group members feel a sense of cohesion and a sense of belonging once the orientation phase is complete.
