Community Guidelines - Where I'm At Community

Welcome to our burnout recovery and peer support community. We are here to support, hold space, and walk alongside one another. We are not a substitute for professional mental health care or therapy.

 

1. Foundations:

•        Peer Support Only:
This is a peer-to-peer community. Moderators and members are not therapists, counselors, or medical professionals. Nothing shared here should be treated as medical or therapeutic advice. If you are in crisis or need clinical help, please contact emergency services or a qualified health provider.

•        We Don’t Fix You:
Our ethos is support, not fixing or diagnosing. You are welcome as you are. Suggestions, encouragement, or shared strategies are always voluntary and based on lived experience.

•        No Medical Advice:
Do not offer, request, or interpret community discussion as professional medical, legal, or clinical advice. Posts seeking or giving such advice will be moderated or removed.

 

2. Safe, Respectful Space:

•        Confidentiality:
What is shared in the group stays in the group. Never share another member’s story, personal details, or messages outside this space unless someone is at risk of harm.

•        Respect and Empathy:
Listen and respond to all members with compassion and non-judgment. Allow space for silence, difference, and disagreement, never personal attacks, shaming, or dismissive behavior.

•        Inclusivity:
Discrimination, hate speech, or targeting anyone for their identity or background will not be tolerated and will result in removal.

 

3. Participation and Boundaries:

•        Share Responsibly:
Speak from your own experience; use “I” statements. Only disclose what you are comfortable sharing.

•        No Pressure to Participate:
There is no obligation to speak or post. Listening is participation too.

•        Respect Time and Space:
Let people finish speaking or posting without interruptions. Avoid giving unsolicited advice.

 

4. Safety and Crisis:

•        Not a Crisis Service:
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or crisis, please contact appropriate helplines or emergency services. We are not able to provide crisis intervention but those resources for where to contact are made available to you within the Community Hub in case of emergencies..

•        Reporting:
Report any content or behaviors that are abusive, make you feel unsafe, or are in violation of these guidelines. Moderators reserve the right to remove posts and members to protect the community. Reporting Content is clearly made available within the Community spaces.

 

5. Privacy and Data:

•        Your Information:
Be cautious sharing personal data. Review our privacy policy for details on data handling.

•        No Spam or Advertising:
No unsolicited promotions, surveys, or affiliate links without moderator permission.

 

6. Moderation and Appeals

•        Moderators are here to support community wellbeing, not police or control. If you think a moderation decision is unfair, you may appeal using the procedure outlined in our pinned post.

•        Persistent or severe breaches may lead to removal.

​

Thanks for your understanding.
