Commitment to Safe and Respectful Group Chats
Welcome to The Breath of Life Foundation's Men's Group WhatsApp Chat. We aim to create safe spaces, and our group chats should be no different. While we cannot guarantee this as they are not monitored 24/7 we have created guidelines for members to follow. After all, we're all here to support each other and promote mental wellness. To ensure our chat remains a safe and supportive space for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
Respect and Empathy
- Respect Everyone: Treat all members with respect and kindness. Understand that everyone has different experiences and perspectives.
- Listen Actively: Show empathy and listen to others without judgment or interruption.
Confidentiality
- Maintain Privacy: What is shared in the group stays in the group. Do not share personal information or conversations outside the chat.
Support & Positivity
- Be Supportive: Offer support and encouragement. Avoid making negative or dismissive comments.
- Stay Positive: Focus on positive and constructive discussions. Share uplifting and motivational content when appropriate.
No Judgement
- Non-Judgmental Space: This is a safe space for everyone to share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment or criticism.
