Balkan Mama Therapy Community Guideline Against Discrimination

At Balkan Mama Therapy, we are committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all members of our community. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other personal characteristic is not tolerated within our community.

3. No sexism: We ask that you refrain from any language or actions that may be perceived as sexist or discriminatory towards any gender. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their gender.

4. No homophobia or transphobia: We ask that you refrain from any language or actions that may be perceived as homophobic or transphobic towards any member of the LGBTQ+ community. We believe that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Balkan Mama Therapy Community Guideline for Privacy and Safety

At Balkan Mama Therapy, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive space for all members of our community. We understand that privacy is a concern for many of our members, and we take all privacy concerns seriously. However, it is important to note that while we strongly enforce safety measures, we cannot guarantee absolute privacy and safety within an online and application-based space.

We ask all members to follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and respectful space for everyone:

1. Respect each other's privacy: We ask that you respect each other's privacy and do not share any personal information or stories outside of the community. What is shared in the community stays in the community.

2. Use caution when sharing personal information: While we encourage members to be vulnerable and authentic in their sharing, we also ask that you use caution when sharing personal information. It is important to be aware of the risks of sharing personal information online, and we encourage all members to protect their privacy and safety.

3. Report any concerns: We ask that you report any concerns or issues to the BMT team as soon as possible. We take all privacy concerns seriously and will work to address them promptly.

4. Understand the limitations of online and application-based spaces: While we strive to create a safe and supportive space for all members, it is important to understand the limitations of online and application-based spaces. We cannot guarantee absolute privacy and safety, and we ask all members to be aware of this when sharing personal information or engaging in the community.

5. Use discretion when posting content: We ask that you use discretion when posting content within the community. It is important to be aware of the potential impact of your words and actions on other members of the community, and to use your judgment when sharing content.

6. Acknowledge the nature of the community: While Balkan Mama Therapy is led by a psychotherapist, it is not a therapeutic space and does not replace therapy. The community is a supportive environment for learning, growing, and healing. It is important to be aware of this distinction and to seek professional help if needed.

We understand that privacy and safety are important concerns for our members, and we are committed to creating a safe and respectful space for everyone. If you have any concerns or questions about privacy or safety within the community, please do not hesitate to reach out to the BMT team for support and guidance.

If you have any questions or concerns about the community, please feel free to contact us at info@balkanmamatherapy.com. We are here to support you and to ensure a safe and inclusive space for all members.

Thank you for being a part of the Balkan Mama Therapy community, where we strive to support each other on our healing journeys.
