Community guidelines

BeHumanly is peer support: real people sharing what they've been through. These guidelines keep it a safe place for everyone.

1. 1. Be kind

   Everyone here is going through something. Write to people the way you'd want someone to write to you.

2. 2. Share experience, not judgement

   Talk about what happened to you and what helped, rather than telling others what they should do.

3. 3. Never share contact details

   No phone numbers, email addresses, social media handles or links, in posts, replies or chat. They're blocked automatically to keep everyone safe.

4. 4. Respect anonymity

   Don't try to work out who someone is, and don't share anything from BeHumanly that could identify a person.

5. 5. No harmful advice

   Don't encourage anything that could put someone at risk, and don't offer medical advice. Suggest a GP or professional instead.

6. 6. Report, don't argue

   If something feels wrong, report it and let a moderator deal with it.
