Hi everyone, I hope you all are having a supportive and compassionate experience in the chatrooms. But, if not! please do share your feedback with us here: (Member Chatrooms) I (Listener Chatrooms)

In the past week Group Support Check-in, members and listeners shared an idea- Participation Guidelines Reminders. And, I am glad to introduce it today.

The reminders rules are simple!

  • Every time someone would be joining the member chatrooms or listener chatrooms, the participation guidelines will be shared in the room.
  • Anyone can send these reminders in the room so to ensure we do not miss sharing these guidelines.

The goal of these reminders is to ensure everyone reads, understands, and follows the chatroom guidelines to help each other have a positive and supportive chatroom experience as a group. All chatrooms are operating under Zero Tolerance Rule for any form of unsupportive behaviors in the chatrooms.

Here is the reminders template that you can bookmark and save and start sharing in the chatrooms

A. For the Member Chatrooms

Hello, everyone coming in! Here is a reminder of a few of our participation guidelines. Our full guidelines can be found at the bottom of this room under “Please read the Chatroom Rules”.

(1) Welcome and Greet everyone.

(2) Be nice, respectful, and compassionate to each other.

(3) Be inclusive and encourage and help everyone to share their story.

(4) Please break your messages/ shares into short sentences.

(5) Lead by a positive and helpful example and match your actions with your words.

(6) Please do not indulge in personal attacks, derogatory language, or disruptive or unacceptable behavior.

(7) If the share is triggering, please send, “Trigger Warning” and the topic before starting the share.

(8) Follow the guidelines and everyone can enjoy a happy chatroom experience.




B. For the Listener Chatrooms

Hello, everyone coming in! Here is a reminder of a few of our participation guidelines. Our full guidelines can be found at the bottom of this room under “Please read the Chatroom Rules”.


(1) Welcome and Greet everyone.

(2) Be nice, respectful, and compassionate to each other.

(3) Be inclusive, supportive, and encouraging to everyone.

(4) Please prioritize support chats over casual chats.

(5) Lead by positive & professional example and match your actions with your words.

(6) Please do not indulge in personal attacks, derogatory language, or disruptive or unacceptable behavior.

(7) Follow the guidelines and everyone can enjoy a happy chatroom experience.





I invite all leaders, members & listeners to help us share these reminders in the chatrooms every time someone joins in so we could collectively able to maintain a positive and healthy chatroom experience for everyone. Your efforts will be much appreciated. I will be grateful to you.

From my app most text appears nearly black on a black background and this impossible to read- this looks like just headers so I’m not sure how to get the content.
