Safety and reporting

When something needs attention.

RareDadHQ is peer support. It isn't monitored as an emergency service, and public forms aren't a crisis channel.

Immediate danger or emotional crisis

If you're in immediate danger, contact local emergency services. In the United States, call or text 988 or use the 988 Lifeline chat for free, confidential crisis support.

Medical questions and treatment claims

Member stories are peer experience, not medical instructions. Don't ask members to diagnose, prescribe, or direct treatment changes. Never delay professional or emergency care because of a post or message. Dangerous treatment claims, pressure to abandon care, and unsupported cure claims should be reported immediately.

Report a site or community concern

Use the contact form and select “Safety or privacy concern” for harassment, scams, dangerous treatment claims, threats, privacy violations, or unauthorized sharing. Don't include medical records.

What RareDadHQ can do

RareDadHQ can review site submissions, preserve relevant records, remove content, restrict an account, contact involved members, or direct people to professional resources. It can't provide emergency response or investigate off-platform conduct like law enforcement.

Moderation before scale

The Lounge won't open until reporting, blocking, moderation records, response procedures, and crisis-resource prompts are in place.
