You understand that your failure to do so may result in termination of your account and participation in the Application.

Community Guidelines:

  • Welcoming: Parents and caregivers--ranging from those who have just received a diagnosis for their child to those who have been navigating supporting their children for years--are welcome and valued members of our community. We are here for the journey.

  • Spirit of Sharing: We're all in this together, which means we expect our community members to give and receive support. Whether you're giving a recommendation, reacting to others' messages, or sharing a message of support, your active participation makes this meaningful.

  • Respect and Empathy: Treat everyone with kindness and understanding. If you can’t offer solutions, offer a listening ear.

  • Confidentiality: Respect the privacy of others. What is shared in the group should stay in the group. Do not share personal information or stories outside the group.

  • No Judgment: ADHD affects individuals and families in different ways. Refrain from making judgments or assumptions about others’ parenting styles or challenges.

  • Avoid Medical Advice: While we can share experiences, remember to avoid offering medical advice. Always encourage members to consult healthcare professionals for diagnosis and treatment.

  • Inclusive Language: Use inclusive, non-discriminatory language that respects all individuals. This is a neuroaffirming space. Everyone’s experience with ADHD is valid, regardless of race, gender, other diagnoses, or socioeconomic background.

  • No Spamming, Self-Promotion: While we welcome personal recommendations that are relevant, this group is for support, not for advertising or promoting unrelated services, products, or external sites. Please avoid spamming the chat. Posts related to policies or politics that directly affect raising children with ADHD are welcome, other political posts are not.

  • Inappropriate content: We reserve the right to remove any content that we feel is inappropriate or harmful and any users who do not abide by guidelines.  We will do our best to monitor the comments, but we may miss some.  Please reach out to us at support@flocktogether.org with any concerns.
