Terms

The terms of using this service.

Plain-English terms for using the demo and what would apply in a real implementation. Not a substitute for legal advice.

This is a demonstration.

This website is a demonstration built by RG Consulting to show how a national mental health nonprofit could present its services online. It is not a live service. The intake form, Ground Chat, donation form, and donor portal are illustrative — they exist to demonstrate design, interaction patterns, and data flow.

No real mental health services are delivered through this site. No real therapy, peer support, or care navigation is provided. If you are looking for actual mental health support right now, please call or text 988 — the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — or speak with a licensed mental health professional.

What a real service would commit to.

In a production implementation, the service represented by this demo would commit to the following:

  • Free access for anyone who needs support, with no insurance billing and no hidden fees.
  • Anonymous use by default — no identity required to begin an intake or use the chat.
  • Care navigation services to help people find the right professional support.
  • Crisis resource provision, including direct connection to the 988 Lifeline.
  • Peer support groups led by trained volunteers with lived experience.
  • No data sold or shared for commercial purposes.

Limitations of any digital mental health service.

No digital service — however well designed — is a substitute for emergency care. Digital tools can connect, guide, and support. They cannot replace a trained clinician in a room with you.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. If you are in emotional crisis, call or text 988. These are the right channels for emergencies — not a chat window or an intake form.

A real implementation of this service would be designed with these limitations clearly communicated at every step.

Your responsibilities as a user.

In a real implementation, users would agree to the following:

  • Don't impersonate others. Don't submit information that represents you as another person.
  • Don't submit false information that could harm another person or misdirect care resources.
  • Don't use the service in ways that harm other users — in peer groups, in shared spaces, or through any interaction with staff or volunteers.
  • Respect the confidentiality of others. What people share in peer support groups stays in those groups.

Intellectual property.

The original code, design, and content of this demonstration site are owned by RG Consulting. The site is built as a demonstration of how a real nonprofit could structure its digital presence. You can view the parent site and other work at robgibbins.com.

The name "Mental Health Demo" and the design system used in this site are proprietary. They are not licensed for reproduction without permission.

Changes to terms.

In a real implementation, terms would be updated as the service evolved. Changes would be posted on this page with the date of update. Continued use of the service after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

We'd always tell you if something significant changed — not just update a version number and hope you noticed.
