Welcome to The Gentle Start Project. By visiting or using our website, you’re agreeing to the terms outlined below. We’ve kept them short, clear, and respectful- because that’s how we believe things should be.

1. Using This Website

You’re welcome to explore our site, request a care package, donate, or learn more about our mission. We ask that you use this space respectfully and for its intended purpose: to support yourself or others through eating disorder recovery.

2. Content Ownership

All content on this site- including the name The Gentle Start Project, our logo, designs, photos, and written materials- belongs to us unless otherwise noted. Please don’t copy or reproduce anything without permission.

If you'd like to share our project, feel free to link to the site or tag us on social media—we love that!

3. Limitation of Liability

We do our best to make sure everything on this site is accurate and safe, but we can’t guarantee that it’s perfect. The Gentle Start Project is not a medical provider, and the content on this site is not a substitute for professional care.

We are not responsible for any harm, issues, or outcomes related to how you use this site or the resources provided here.

4. Care Package Requests

Our care packages are available while supplies last. We reserve the right to modify or pause the program at any time based on funding, availability, or safety concerns. We also reserve the right to decline or delay requests if needed.

We trust our community to use the request form honestly and respectfully.

5. External Links

We sometimes link to other organizations or resources. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please check their policies if you choose to visit them.

6. Contact
