LGBTQ+, Disability & Trauma Rooms

Hey everyone!

Following the changes made to the rooms recently, we have updates on our Trauma, Disability and LGBTQ+ chatrooms.

We know these rooms particularly need a safe space and that it is difficult to navigate our regular rooms before or now. We have been working on an update and are ready to roll it out!

To gain access to these rooms, you will need to make a request here. There are no additional requirements for members however listeners will need to have the Active Listening Level 1 certificate found on this page. This means they will need to have taken the Listener Oath, 10 steps on their Growth Path and have had Five 1-1 Chats with members. The accounts will then be checked for behavior history as well as multiple accounts.

If all is good, you will receive the Support Key badge which will give you access to the chatrooms. We will try to have these processed as quickly as possible however ask for your patience in the beginning while we work it out.

How will new users know to make a request for access?

We will ask the Subcommunity leader to make this visible in there forum areas as well as include it in check ins. Any users who seek support in these topics in the Support Room or Community room will be sent the link to this post and welcome to request access

What happens if someone violates guidelines and chatroom rules?

We want these spaces to remain safe. This means if community guidelines are violated or any disruptions occur, the badge will be removed and the user will lose access to the rooms.

If you have any questions feel free to share and we will answer them as best we can. I hope that this will help improve the quality of support we can provide and that we can continue to move forward as a community.

Thank you to all of you who have been open minded and who continue to make this a community we can all be proud of!
