Community Guidelines

💛 Our Shared Values​​

We believe in:

• Respect: Every person deserves kindness and understanding.

• Empowerment: We encourage each member to take ownership of their wellness journey.

• Privacy: What’s shared here should stay within this community.

• Growth: We celebrate progress, not perfection.

 

🌿 Safe & Supportive Space​

To maintain a healing environment:

• Be gentle in your words — speak from your own experience, not for others.

• Listen more than you give advice. Offer support, not direction.

• No shaming, judging, or comparing journeys.

• Avoid graphic details of trauma, violence, or self-harm.

• Respect cultural, spiritual, and personal differences.

 

🪷 Boundaries & Privacy

• Do not share anyone else’s story, photo, or information outside the community.

• Keep your own identifying details private unless you choose to share.

• This is not a space for medical, legal, or crisis advice. If you or someone you know is in danger, call 988 or contact a local emergency service.

 

🌼 Posting & Engagement

• Share stories, insights, and tools that uplift or inspire growth.

• Use “I” statements (ex: “I’ve found that…” or “In my experience…”).

• Stay mindful of tone — warmth and curiosity help keep discussion open.

• No spam, self-promotion, or selling unless approved by admin.

​

🌻 Moderation & Accountability

We reserve the right to remove any content or member that:

• Violates these guidelines,

• Harms or disrespects others,

• Or uses this space for solicitation, discrimination, or unsafe advice.
   

If a post or comment feels unsafe, please report it directly to a moderator.
We’ll handle all concerns privately and with care.

🌸 A Note from The Blooming Path

This community is not a replacement for therapy or crisis care. It is a space for connection, reflection, and encouragement led by shared lived experience.

Together, we grow stronger — one conversation, one moment, one act of kindness at a time.
