Our Sacred Sanctuary

Community Safety Promise

Living Beyond MS exists to provide a protected, emotionally safe sanctuary for women navigating Multiple Sclerosis. Our community guidelines are strictly upheld to ensure dignity, peace of mind, and genuine peer support.

Zero-Tolerance Safety Standards

To preserve the sanctuary of our members, violations of these core standards result in immediate, permanent account revocation.

1. Zero Commercial Solicitation & Sales

We prohibit all commercial advertising, multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes, wellness product sales, paid coaching pitches, and affiliate promotions. You will never be sold to inside our community.

2. Zero Unverified Cure Claims & Medical Shaming

MS is a complex neurological condition. We respect every member’s medical autonomy—whether on high-efficacy DMTs, symptom therapies, or complementary lifestyle protocols. We ban dogmatic cure claims, medical shaming, and unsolicited prescribing.

3. Zero Harassment, Bullying, or Trolling

Every woman deserves respect regardless of disability level, diagnosis type, age, or background. Hostility, dismissive comments, aggressive debates, and harassment in public channels or private DMs are met with instant removal.

4. Strict Confidentiality & Sanctuary Privacy

What is shared inside our discussions and virtual Zoom meetups stays strictly confidential. Taking screenshots, copying peer posts, or sharing member stories outside the community without explicit written consent is strictly prohibited.

How We Protect Our Members

Active Moderator OversightOur moderators review discussion channels and monitor direct messaging safety to catch spam, solicitation, or harmful behavior early.
Camera-Optional & Pressure-Free SpacesIn our Zoom calls and meetups, cameras and audio participation are completely voluntary. Fatigue and brain fog are always honored.

Need to Report a Concern or Safety Issue?
