Community Guidelines

Last updated: August 30, 2026

People come here carrying real things. These guidelines keep this a place where it stays safe to be honest.

Be kind

No bullying, harassment, humiliation, threats or targeting another member. Disagreement is allowed; cruelty is not.

No hate

No hateful or degrading content based on race, ethnicity, religion, sex, disability or other protected characteristics.

Protect privacy

Do not post addresses, phone numbers, passwords, exact school or location information, or anyone else's private information — including your own.

Keep the space appropriate

No sexually explicit content, predatory behavior or inappropriate contact with younger users.

No dangerous encouragement

Do not encourage self-harm, suicide, violence, substance misuse or any other dangerous behavior.

Peer support is not professional treatment

Members should not present themselves as someone's doctor, therapist or mental-health professional unless appropriately licensed, and should never give dangerous medical instructions. Share your experience — not a diagnosis.

Do not pressure people off-platform

Do not pressure another person to privately message you, exchange personal contact information, meet in person or move a conversation somewhere else.

Report concerning content

Community Lounge posts include a Report option. If something feels unsafe, harmful or inappropriate, please report it, or email thehealinglounge26@yahoo.com. Content may be removed and access may be restricted when necessary to protect the community.

If someone may be in danger

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call 911. In the U.S., call or text 988 for crisis support.
