Terms of Use

By using this site or reaching out to us, you agree to these plain terms. If anything here doesn’t sit right, please don’t use the site, and feel free to ask us about it.

What we are and aren’t

Always rely on qualified professionals for medical and mental-health decisions. In an emergency, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988.

Using the site

You may use this site for its intended purpose: learning about the Foundation, getting support, volunteering, and reading our stories. Please don’t misuse it: no attempting to break it, scrape it at scale, impersonate us, or use it to harm others.

Support and volunteering

Our support is offered free and in good faith, and we may decline or end a match if it isn’t a safe or appropriate fit. Volunteers go through a conversation, training, and screening, and are expected to act with care and respect; being a volunteer doesn’t make anyone an employee or agent of the Foundation.

No guarantees

We pour real care into this work, but the site and our support are provided “as is,” without warranties. To the fullest extent the law allows, the Foundation isn’t liable for indirect or incidental harms arising from use of the site or our programs.

Our content

The words, design, and brand on this site belong to the Katherine Paleno Foundation unless noted. Stories may be drawn from our newsletter. Please don’t republish our content as your own; you’re welcome to link to us.

Links to other sites

We sometimes link out (for example to crisis resources or our newsletter). We’re not responsible for the content or practices of sites we don’t run.

Changes

We may update these terms as the Foundation grows. We’ll change the date at the top when we do, and continued use means you accept the current version.
