Moderation Principle #3: First-hand stories only.

We're back with another Moderation Principle!
We make it safe and easy to share your story:
– No names or details that ID people (unless it's a compliment!)
– No dates/times
– We hold back stories in legal/complaint processes
❤️ Extra care for vulnerable storytellers.

July 24th is Self Care Day! Sharing your story and healthcare experience can be cathartic and a great form of self care.

There's no one size fits all when it comes to self care, and we'd love to know what it looks like for you? Share with us in the comments!
