Core principles
These principles shape how moderation works and how content is framed across the platform, including spaces.
Evidence-informed by design
We aim to support progress in ways that do not reinforce anxiety-maintaining patterns (for example, repeated reassurance-seeking or symptom checking).
Progress over perfection
The community is built around small wins, practice, and consistency. Setbacks are normal and can still be shared in a recovery-oriented way.
Support gap focused
We help people access community support, education, and practical tools, especially when therapy is unavailable, unaffordable, or delayed.
Professionals, moderation, and safeguarding
Anxiety Fitness combines community support with clear boundaries. Professionals, organisations, moderators, and platform safety rules each have different roles.
How professionals are involved
Verified professionals and organisations can host educational rooms, run spaces, and share resources. They do not provide on-platform therapy, diagnosis, or individualized treatment.
How moderation works
Moderation keeps the space safe, supportive, and on-topic. Moderators guide conversations and enforce rules, but moderation is not therapy or crisis care.
Safeguarding and crisis escalation
If content suggests immediate risk or crisis, members may be redirected to local emergency resources. Urgent support should not be sought in comments or chat.
Core community guidelines
These are the practical standards we use to protect the quality of discussion and keep the space aligned with the community’s purpose.
Feature guidelines
Different features support different types of interaction. Use the right feature for your goal so support is clearer and moderation can keep things safe.
Reporting and enforcement
If something feels unsafe, inappropriate, or out of line with these guidelines, report it to the team or moderators. We review reports based on safety, context, and platform rules.
Moderation actions may include content removal, warnings, temporary restrictions, or account bans for repeated or serious breaches.
We prioritize protecting member safety and maintaining a supportive, evidence-aligned environment over keeping harmful content live.
