Community comfort and safety is everything!  In order for us to maintain the most successful environment for all, we ask everyone who enters our space to adhere to our community guidelines.  Because we all like being respected and valued, right? We thought so too!

1. Support, Not Fix – This is a space for listening, not unsolicited advice.  Offer empathy, not assumptive solutions.

2. Inclusive & Affirming – This space welcomes all identities, including those of different genders, backgrounds, beliefs and experiences.  Use respectful language and pronouns.

3. Zero Tolerance for Hate or Harassment – Discrimination, bullying, or exclusionary behavior will not be tolerated.

4. Medical Discussions with Care – All personal treatment choices are valid.  Avoid medical debates or unverified health claims.  Listen, do not judge or advise.

5. Accessibility & Comfort – Be aware of physical, emotional, and sensory needs.  Make room for different abilities and comfort levels.

6. Respect All Journeys – Everyone’s experience with cancer is unique.  Offer support without comparison or judgment.

7. Community First – This is a place for connection and healing.  Hold space with respect and kindness.  Remember, your words matter.  Uplift and support each other.
