CHAT GUIDELINES

Truly, we are sorry you’re here. We know that you have experienced something tragic, and it’s hard for most people around you to understand. We understand you because we are you. We hope you can find comfort and healing through your time here.

Please follow these guidelines throughout our time together in mentorship:

1. Due to the nature of this space, please ensure that anything you send in our chat is supportive and encouraging.

2. While we want you to share your experience and feelings, we ask that you leave all names out. This includes healthcare providers, facilities, and organizations.

3. Confidentiality is key to maintaining a safe, private space for everyone participating. Please help us keep this safe by not sharing any information with anyone outside this group.

4. We do not allow any promotion or solicitation of businesses, items, donations, etc. Anything mentioned like this will be immediately deleted.

5. While communicating, please help us maintain the safety of anyone involved by not using profanity, racial slurs, or insensitive language.

6. Please remember that this mentorship is not medical care or mental health care. This is simply a peer mentorship group. Medical advice will not be welcome here. If you need medical advice, reach out to your healthcare provider.

7. If you think someone has violated these guidelines, please let us know immediately. A violation of these guidelines could result in removal from the group.
