Welcome to the MyCaregiverLink Community! To keep our community safe, respectful, and helpful, we ask that all members follow these guidelines. Violating these guidelines may result in removal from the community. Let’s work together to make this the kind of community we've always wanted. 💙

1. Be Respectful & Kind

💙 Treat all members with kindness, empathy, and respect.
💙 Disagreements happen, but personal attacks, bullying, or hate speech will not be tolerated.
💙 Assume good intentions—everyone here is navigating their own caregiving journey.

2. Protect Privacy & Confidentiality

🔒 Keep personal details (yours and others) private. Avoid sharing full names, addresses, phone numbers, or any sensitive medical information.
🔒 Do not share private conversations or information from this community outside of the forum.

3. Keep Discussions Supportive & On-Topic

📝 Stay focused on caregiving-related topics and offer encouragement to others.
📝 While venting is welcome, we encourage constructive discussions that lead to support and solutions.
📝 If a conversation becomes heated or unproductive, moderators may step in to guide the discussion.

4. No Spam, Self-Promotion, or Solicitation

🚫 This is a space for connection, not advertising.
🚫 Do not promote businesses, services, fundraisers, or personal blogs unless explicitly allowed in designated areas.
🚫 If you’re unsure whether a post is appropriate, ask a moderator before posting.

5. Respect Different Experiences & Perspectives

🌍 Every caregiving journey is unique. What works for one person may not work for another.
🌍 Avoid giving medical or legal advice unless you are a qualified professional. Instead, share experiences and resources that have helped you.

6. Reporting & Moderation

⚠️ If you see something inappropriate, offensive, or concerning, report it to the moderators.
⚠️ Moderators reserve the right to edit or remove posts that violate guidelines.
⚠️ Repeated violations may result in temporary or permanent removal from the community.

7. Take Care of Yourself

💙 Caregiving is hard, and we want this community to be a source of encouragement, not additional stress. If a conversation is overwhelming, it’s okay to take a step back.
