Social Media Policy
Meaningful Mental Health maintains a presence on social media platforms for educational and informational purposes only. This policy is intended to clarify boundaries, protect client privacy, and set clear expectations regarding online engagement.
Purpose of Social Media
Content shared on social media is meant to provide general information, reflections, and mental health–related resources. It is not a substitute for therapy, professional advice, or individualized mental health care.
Privacy and Confidentiality
To protect confidentiality and privacy, 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 responding publicly to comments or messages related to therapy or the therapeutic relationship. If you choose to follow or interact with Meaningful Mental Health on social media, please be aware that your activity may be visible to others.
Direct Messages and Communication
Social media is not an appropriate platform for clinical communication. I do not provide therapy, counseling, crisis support, or individualized advice through social media messages, comments, or posts. If you are interested in therapy services or have questions, please use the Contact page on this website or email me directly.
Comments and Engagement
I welcome thoughtful, respectful engagement with educational content. However, comments that include personal mental health information, identifying details, or crisis-related concerns may be removed to protect privacy.
Crisis Support
Social media is not monitored for emergencies. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline immediately.
In the United States, you may contact:
-
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988)
-
911 in an emergency
