Participation in SBS content or live streams does not create a therapist – client relationship (or any other professional relationship) between you and SBS, its clinicians, hosts, guests, moderators, staff, or volunteers.
If you need individualised assessment or treatment, please seek care from a qualified, licensed provider in your area.

If you need immediate emotional support in the U.S., you can call or text 988 or chat via 988lifeline.org.

6. Anonymity, Privacy Choices, and Recording
SBS is designed to allow anonymous participation. You are responsible for protecting your privacy by choosing what you share, using a non-identifying display name if desired, and disabling video/microphone if appropriate.
Some sessions may be recorded (audio and/or video) for quality, training, replay, or educational purposes. If a session is recorded, you will be notified through the platform’s recording notice. If you do not consent, do not join or leave the session.
SBS may edit recordings to remove or obscure identifying information where feasible, but cannot guarantee that all identifying information will be removed if you share it publicly during a live session.

If SBS uses affiliate links or receives sponsorship support, SBS will disclose material connections in a clear way in accordance with applicable advertising and endorsement guidelines.
