Agreements & Community Guidelines

To be a member of our private support group, we ask that you agree to the following set of guidelines to help us maintain a positive experience for everyone. You must agree to all to be approved.

Confidentiality(Required)

Please honor the individuals in the community and don't share outside the group. We can, of course, talk about our own experiences without revealing personal information about others.

I agree

This is not therapy(Required)

I understand that membership in the support group is no therapy. If I need therapy, I will seek it outside of this Journey Free.

I agree

Mutual respect(Required)

Everyone here is coming out of backgrounds of dogma and judgment, so we ask all members to be accepting and nonjudgmental, even when we disagree. This is also not the place to try and convert people to your faith experience if you are still involved.

I agree

Speak from I(Required)

Even though we share many things, each person's experience is unique. When speaking, we use "I" statements and express our own viewpoint rather than generalizing. This helps develop one's voice and avoid speaking for others.

I agree

Urgent care(Required)

The group is not designed for supporting people in crisis. By submitting this application you agree that you are not currently in crisis. If a time comes up where you are going through an extreme difficulty that is beyond the scope of the group to help, or even feel suicidal, please use emergency services to get help or contact a personal therapist.

I agree

Remember our purpose(Required)

Always keep in mind the intention of the group, which is healing and growth, both emotionally and intellectually. Whenever you participate, think about how. your comments serve this purpose for you and/or someone else.

I agree

Journey Free Newsletter(Required)

We would like to add you to our mailing list for an occasional newsletter with information about religious recovery and news about Journey Free and the Release and Reclaim group. Do we have permission to add you to our list?

Yes
