🤝 Community
Community Guidelines
The DaraLife Collective is a space built on trust, empathy, and shared commitment to health. These guidelines exist to protect that space for every member.
Our Values
The DaraLife community is built around four core values:
- Empathy first — every member is on a different journey. Meet people where they are.
- Evidence over anecdote — share what works for you, but don't present personal experience as universal medical truth.
- Privacy and dignity — what is shared in the community stays in the community. Respect the vulnerability of others.
- Inclusion — health challenges cross every boundary. Our community reflects the full spectrum of human experience.
The Golden Rules
💚
Be kind and supportive
Respond to others the way you would want to be treated when you're struggling. Encouragement, not judgment.
🧠
Share responsibly
You can share what worked for you without telling others it will definitely work for them. Add "this worked for me" qualifiers to health claims.
🔒
Protect member privacy
Never share another member's personal story, health information, or identity outside the platform — even with their name removed.
🌍
Respect all backgrounds
Our community includes members from many countries, cultures, and health backgrounds. Assumptions are costly. Ask, don't assume.
🙋
Know when to refer to a professional
If a member shares a situation that sounds like a medical emergency, always encourage them to see a qualified professional. The community is support — not a substitute for medical care.
What Is Not Allowed
🚫
Harmful health misinformation
Posting unverified cures, dangerous supplement combinations, anti-vaccination content, or any claims that could cause physical harm if followed.
🚫
Harassment and bullying
Targeting, mocking, or repeatedly antagonising any member — including sending unsolicited negative messages or responding to posts with contempt.
🚫
Spam and self-promotion
Posting links to external products, services, or platforms without moderator approval. This includes MLM products, competing platforms, and referral links.
🚫
Impersonating professionals
Claiming medical, nutritional, or therapeutic credentials you do not hold. Verified expert members are clearly badged on the platform.
🚫
Hate speech and discrimination
Any content that demeans people based on race, gender, religion, sexuality, disability, nationality, or any other characteristic.
🚫
Graphic or disturbing content
Sharing graphic images, descriptions of self-harm, or content that could be triggering to vulnerable members without appropriate content warnings and moderator approval.
Enforcement
Moderation
DaraLife moderators actively review community content. We also rely on community members to report violations using the report button on any post.
Consequences
Violations of these guidelines may result in:
- A warning and content removal (first offence, minor violation)
- Temporary suspension from community posting (repeated or moderate violations)
- Permanent ban from all community hubs (serious or repeated violations)
- Account termination (severe violations including misinformation that causes harm or harassment campaigns)
Moderation decisions are final. Appeals may be submitted to dara@daralifewellness.com within 7 days.
Content that poses an immediate risk to someone's physical safety — including expressions of suicidal intent or descriptions of self-harm — will be escalated immediately and may result in emergency contacts being notified where legally required.
Mental Health & Crisis
If you or someone in the community expresses a mental health crisis, suicidal ideation, or describes plans to harm themselves or others:
- Do not engage alone — flag the post for moderators immediately
- Share crisis resources if appropriate: Nigeria Suicide Prevention Initiative: 0800-SUICIDE (0800-7842433)
- Moderators are trained to respond to these situations
