Scope · boundaries

What we do—and what we do not do.

Scope clarity protects participants, volunteers, and partners. The Society provides peer-led support and practical readiness— not legal representation, not clinical therapy, and not crisis response.

Programs Governance

If there is immediate danger or acute distress, contact emergency services first.

We do

  • Peer-led cohorts with facilitation, boundaries, and safety norms
  • Rights navigation readiness (timelines, questions, evidence checklists)
  • Resilience tools for pacing, burnout reduction, and isolation reduction
  • Consent-based referrals and “next step” pathways
  • Pattern-level outreach and education (de-identified)

We do not

  • Provide legal advice or legal representation
  • Offer emergency/crisis services or 24/7 support
  • Provide clinical therapy, diagnosis, or medical care
  • Investigate cases or act as an enforcement agency
  • Publicly name individuals or employers through the Society

How to work with the Society

  • Step 1: Contact with a short, non-identifying summary (topic + what support is sought).
  • Step 2: Routing to the right pathway (participation / volunteer / funding / partner).
  • Step 3: A clear “next step” plan (what to prepare, what to expect, what we can offer).

Privacy-first: avoid full names, addresses, employer identifiers, or case numbers in the first message.

Common requests we cannot take

  • Acting as legal counsel, writing legal filings, or contacting an opposing party on someone’s behalf
  • Clinical assessment, therapy, crisis intervention, or emergency response
  • Publishing personal stories or identifiers as “proof”
  • Holding sensitive documents without a defined, consented purpose and safer channel

Partners and referrals

  • Referrals are consent-based and privacy-minimised.
  • Partners should not pressure participants to disclose identifying details.
  • Clear boundaries protect trust and reduce harm during system navigation.
