Money Healing Club Community Safety & Inclusion Guidelines

You've joined a community where financial healing happens through connection, learning, creativity, and compassion. These guidelines create a container where breakthrough moments and learning can flourish while maintaining clear boundaries.

As you read through these guidelines, remember: we're not here to police your behavior but to co-create a space where everyone can experience financial healing. Your voice matters here, and these guidelines help ensure everyone's voice can be heard. We welcome feedback on this form (with anonymous option).

Our Core Values

💖 Compassion: We acknowledge the complex emotions around money and meet each other with kindness.

🌿 Non-Judgment: We recognize everyone's financial journey is unique and shaped by different circumstances.

✨ Learning: We remain curious and open to new perspectives on our financial lives.

🔄 Activism: We recognize that financial systems are flawed and healing includes working toward more equitable systems. 

What You Can Expect From Us

A Careful Container

We maintain a moderated space where financial healing can happen. Our moderation team works to ensure these guidelines are upheld with consistency and care.

Privacy

We will never share your personal information outside the Club without your consent. Recordings of events are only shared within the community. 

Clear Boundaries

We'll be transparent about what the Money Healing Club is (and isn't). This is a financial learning community, not a substitute for mental health treatment, financial advising, or legal counsel.

Emotional Support

We're committed to hearing and holding your struggles and celebrating your breakthroughs, whether they're emotional insights or practical wins.

What We Expect From You

• Keep the identities and stories of other members private.

• Do not share screenshots or recordings from the community anywhere else.

• You may share your own experiences outside the Club, but not others'.

• Respect that what's shared here stays here.

Respectful Engagement

  • Race, ethnicity, or cultural background

  • Gender identity and expression

  • Sexual orientation

  • Religious or spiritual beliefs

Content Boundaries

Content to share: 

• Personal financial stories and reflections

• Money wins and setbacks

• Specific numbers when relevant to your learning

• Helpful resources that have supported your journey

• Questions about financial concepts or emotional connections to money

Content to avoid:

• Unprocessed trauma that needs professional support

• Financial advice presented as universally applicable

• Political content unrelated to financial systems

• Misinformation about financial concepts

• Detailed crisis situations without support resources

Your Promotions

• Do not use the community to promote your business, products, or services. The only exception is when a moderator invites self-promotion in a post.

• Do not solicit other members for business opportunities.

• You are welcome to describe your business, products or services in your profile.

• If you have a resource that might benefit the community, please share it in the Circle of Support Space (and make sure your offer aligns with that space’s guidelines).

Mental Health Issues

• The Money Healing Club provides financial therapy, not clinical mental health treatment.

• If you're experiencing acute distress such as substance withdrawal or suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a mental health professional.

• If you need referrals, the moderation team can provide resources. Our go-tos are https://openpathcollective.org + https://www.psychologytoday.com

• We cannot support crisis intervention within the community. Please call 9-8-8 if experiencing a mental health crisis. 

• If we observe or receive reports of a mental health crisis, we will contact the member with referrals/resources and pause their membership until they are stable and they request to re-join

Live Event Guidelines

Our live online gatherings are where most of our collective healing happens. To make these times comfortable and fair, we have the following event guidelines:

Educational nature - These sessions are educational and do not replace mental health care or financial, legal, or tax advising.

Privacy - We keep what’s shared here private to the group. If you are bringing a guest, please introduce them so we all know who’s on the call.

Cameras optional - Feel free to turn your camera on or off based on your comfort level.

Self-care is priority - If you feel distressed, do what you need: turn off video, step away, or leave and return when ready.

We're recording - (except for Money Dates and Open Coaching) Recordings are for members who couldn't attend live, not for external sharing.

Focused sharing welcome - We encourage honesty while staying centered on money from an emotional perspective. Engage at the level your nervous system allows for today.

Respectful participation - Please stay muted when not speaking, use the raise hand feature to share, and keep comments brief so everyone has a voice. Lean into the Chat.

Curiosity encouraged – We each bring unique lived experiences to this space. We invite you to listen actively, seek to understand differences, and approach others' stories with openness and respect.

Artistic expression - During art sessions, be gentle with yourself—there's no right or wrong way to create; digital process welcome.

Emotional awareness - Working with money and images can evoke strong feelings; arrange comforts and processing time for yourself during and after the event.

Let us know - If there’s anything you’d like to discuss with the MHC privately, you may DM us or use the feedback form.
