At Lounges, we place utmost importance on the well-being of our creators and viewers.
We believe that raising awareness and understanding of mental health is crucial, and we encourage creators to share their personal stories and experiences regarding depression, self-harm, eating disorders, and other mental health issues.
However, it is vital to maintain a safe and supportive environment on our platform. Therefore, content that promotes suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders, seeks to shock or disgust viewers, or poses significant risks to our audience is not allowed on Lounges.
If you come across such content, here's what you can do:
- If you believe someone is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services for prompt assistance.
- Flag the video to bring it to our attention so that we can take appropriate action.
We understand that mental health-related content can have a profound impact on viewers. If you find yourself affected negatively by any content related to mental health, suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders, remember that support is available, and you are not alone. In the following section, you will find a list of resources and contact information for organisations that can offer advice and assistance.
If you need support for depression, thoughts of suicide, self-harming tendencies, or are dealing with an eating disorder, it's crucial to seek help. Many individuals face these challenging emotions and talking to a mental health care provider can be instrumental in identifying if you require professional care for a mental illness. Additionally, they can help you develop healthy coping strategies and acquire skills to manage difficult emotions effectively. Remember, reaching out for support is a courageous step towards well-being, and there are resources available to aid you on your journey.
