Respect people and boundaries

Honor differences in background, identity, beliefs, abilities, and lived experience. Participation is invitational. Ask before offering advice, touching, recording, or photographing others.

Protect shared stories

Speak from your own experience. Do not share another person’s private story outside the gathering. We ask everyone to protect privacy but cannot guarantee confidentiality by other participants.

Practice care and responsibility

Follow activity instructions, safety expectations, and facilitator boundaries. Share access needs and concerns before participation. Group support does not replace medical, clinical, or emergency care.

Contribute with integrity

Use your role and access appropriately. Do not pressure participants to purchase, disclose, or join another activity. Volunteers and facilitators agree to applicable program requirements before serving.

Raise concerns

Contact the team about behavior, participation, or safety concerns. The team may pause or review participation to support a respectful environment.
