Written consent
The contributor approves the exact story and how they are identified.
Stories · lived experience with safeguards
A story should help the next athlete—not expose the one telling it.
MindsMelt will publish lived experience only after consent, safe-messaging, safeguarding and withdrawal protections are operational.
Withdrawal forever
Consent can be withdrawn at any time; removal target is 72 hours.
Safe messaging
No harmful method detail; help-seeking and the support that followed remain visible.
Safeguarding and legal review
Identifiable conduct is routed through proper complaints and legal processes—not editorial accusation.
Publication boundary
No seeded story goes live before the workflow.
The first three to five stories will come from the founder’s network, but familiarity never replaces consent or review.
- 1
Contributor chooses name, first name or pseudonym.
- 2
Consent record captures text, images, platforms and withdrawal route.
- 3
Clinical adviser checks safe messaging and adjacent crisis support.
- 4
Safeguarding and legal review apply where conduct or organisations may be identifiable.
- 5
Contributor sees and approves the final version before publication.
