Social Media Policy
Meaningful Mental Health maintains a presence on social media platforms for educational and informational purposes. This policy is intended to clarify professional boundaries, protect privacy and confidentiality, and set expectations regarding online engagement.
Purpose of Social Media
Content shared on social media is intended to provide general information, reflections, and mental health-related resources. It is not a substitute for therapy, professional advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized mental health care.
Privacy and Confidentiality
To protect confidentiality and professional boundaries, I do not engage with current or former clients on social media in ways that could identify them as clients. This includes accepting or initiating friend or follow requests on personal social media accounts or publicly responding to comments or messages in a manner that acknowledges a therapeutic relationship.
You are welcome to follow Meaningful Mental Health's professional social media accounts if you choose. Please be aware that following, commenting on, liking, sharing, or otherwise interacting with these accounts may be visible to others. Consider your own privacy when engaging with mental health-related content online.
Direct Messages and Communication
Social media is not an appropriate platform for clinical, confidential, or emergency communication. I do not provide therapy, counseling, crisis support, or individualized mental health advice through social media messages, comments, or posts.
Please do not use social media direct messages to share sensitive clinical information or communicate about urgent concerns. If you are interested in therapy services or have questions about services, please use the Contact page on this website or email me directly.
Comments and Engagement
Thoughtful and respectful engagement with educational content is welcome. However, comments containing personal mental health information, identifying details, inappropriate content, or crisis-related concerns may be removed to protect privacy and maintain appropriate professional boundaries.
Crisis Support
Social media accounts are not monitored for emergencies or crisis situations.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency in the United States, call or text 988, call 911, or go to your nearest emergency department.
Updates to This Policy
This Social Media Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practice or online communication. The most current version will be posted on this website.
