MC offers these community boards as an additional support to Mentoring Teams. We recognize that Mentors and Mentees alike will have special needs to communicate and connect with one another. The following guidelines will help all who participate to have a positive, supportive experience while visiting the Community Boards

Community Boards Guidelines

* "Mentor" and "Mentee" boards are for mentor and mentee participants, respectively. Please do not cross-post

* The "General Topics" board is for both mentor and mentee participants to come together and support one another

* You do not need to currently be a member of a Mentor Team to participate in the "General Topics" board. You DO need to be currently involved with MC as either a mentor or a mentee to participate in the "Mentor" or "Mentee" boards, respectively

* The "CaregiverCONNECT" Support board is ONLY for family members, friends, loved ones, clinicians and others who are currently supporting, or are concerned about, someone who is struggling with an eating disorder

* These forums are largely unmonitored - participate at your own risk

* While Key to Life and MentorCONNECT may or may not monitor the community boards, we reserve the right to delete ANY AND ALL POSTS with triggering, negative or inappropriate content. ABSOLUTELY NO NUMBERS (weight, calorie counts, pro-ED tips & tricks, etc.) will be allowed - these posts will be deleted immediately. MC to report any problems/content in need of deletion

* When posting, share from your own personal experience in first-person language. Always ask before offering unsolicited feedback or advice to other MC participants. If you are seeking advice or feedback from other participants, make this clear in posts

* Refrain from using the Boards or MC participant information to advertise, market or promote your own products or services. Additionally, MentorCONNECT NEVER sells or lends MC participant contact information to any third parties. Participants who violate these guidelines will be banned from future participation

* KEEP CONFIDENTIALITY AT ALL TIMES - this goes for participation both on the Boards and within Mentor Teams

* Post as often as you need to! The boards are here for you - remember, everyone you see on MentorCONNECT is here for the same reason you are - to offer and receive support and encouragement for the recovery journey!



p.s. Still have questions? us and we will do our best to answer them for you!
