Community Guidelines

​

Welcome to [Your Community Name]! Our community is a place for individuals to connect, share experiences, and support each other in matters related to mental health. To ensure a safe and respectful environment for all members, we have established the following Community Guidelines:

1. Respectful Behavior

Treat all members with kindness, empathy, and respect. Avoid language or actions that may be offensive, discriminatory, or harmful to others. Disagreements are natural, but they should be handled constructively and respectfully.

2. Confidentiality

Respect the confidentiality and privacy of fellow members. Do not share personal information or details shared by others without their explicit consent. Protect the anonymity of individuals who may prefer to remain unidentified.

3. Supportive Environment

Offer support and encouragement to fellow members who may be struggling with mental health challenges. Provide empathy, validation, and understanding without judgment. Remember that everyone's experiences and perspectives are valid.

4. Constructive Communication

Engage in constructive communication that contributes to meaningful discussions. Listen actively, ask questions, and provide thoughtful responses. Avoid disruptive behaviour such as trolling, spamming, or excessive self-promotion.

5. Safety

Prioritize the safety and well-being of all members. Report any concerning behaviour, such as harassment, bullying, or threats, to the community moderators or administrators promptly. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of abuse or harm.

6. Content Guidelines

Ensure that all content shared in the community is relevant, appropriate, and respectful. Avoid sharing graphic or triggering content without appropriate warnings. Refrain from promoting products or services unrelated to mental health without prior approval.

7. Moderation

Follow the instructions and guidance provided by community moderators or administrators. They are responsible for enforcing these Community Guidelines and maintaining the overall integrity of the community. Respect their decisions and refrain from engaging in behaviour that may disrupt their efforts.
