Community Guidelines
HEARD is a space for healing, growth, and real human connection. These guidelines keep every space safe and supportive.
1. Lead with empathy
Listen first. Respond with kindness. Everyone here is carrying something — meet people where they are.
2. Protect anonymity
Respect the anonymity of others. Never attempt to identify, expose, or contact members outside of HEARD.
3. Keep it safe
No harassment, hate, bullying, or harmful content. We have zero tolerance for cruelty of any kind.
4. Support, don't diagnose
Share your experience and encouragement, but HEARD is not a substitute for professional care. In a crisis, please use our Support Center resources.
5. No spam or self-promotion
This is a community, not a marketplace. Keep the space free of advertising, solicitation, and off-topic promotion.
Reporting
If something doesn't feel right, report it. Our moderators review reports to keep HEARD warm and welcoming for everyone.
