Community Guidelines

Effective date: June 30, 2026

These Community Guidelines are part of our Terms of Service and apply to all community features – discussions, posts, comments, reactions, events, and any other member-to-member space. By participating, you agree to follow them. Our goal is a safe, respectful, and recovery-supportive community.

Not for emergencies. The community is peer support, not crisis care. If you or someone else may be in danger, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.

1. Be respectful and supportive

Treat others with kindness. No harassment, bullying, hate speech, discrimination, threats, or personal attacks.

2. Protect privacy – yours and others'

Don't share personal or identifying information about other members, and don't repost, screenshot, or share others' content outside the community. Share only what you're comfortable being seen by other members. Never share anyone else's health information.

3. Safety comes first

If a post suggests someone may be at risk of harming themselves or others, encourage them to reach out to 988 or 911, and report the post to us. To protect members, we may remove content and take action when we believe there is a risk of imminent harm.

4. No medical or clinical advice

Members are here to share experience and support – not to provide medical advice. Don't diagnose others or tell anyone to start, stop, or change medication or treatment. For clinical questions, talk to a licensed provider.

5. Keep it recovery-supportive

This is a recovery-focused community. Do not post content that promotes, glorifies, sells, or helps source drugs, alcohol, or other substances, or that encourages self-harm, disordered eating, or substance use.

6. No harmful, illegal, or inappropriate content

No violent, sexually explicit, exploitative, or illegal content, and nothing that infringes others' rights.

7. Be authentic

Participate as yourself. No impersonation, fake accounts, or misrepresenting your affiliation.

8. No spam or solicitation

No spam, advertising, promotion, recruiting, or selling of products or services.

9. Respect intellectual property

Only post content you have the right to share.

10. Reporting and enforcement

If you see content that breaks these guidelines, report it using the flag icon on the post or comment. We may remove content, issue warnings, restrict features, or suspend or remove accounts that violate these guidelines or our Terms of Service. We aim to apply these rules fairly and consistently.

11. Changes

We may update these Guidelines from time to time and will post the updated version with a new effective date.
