Building Our Community Together with Care

We care about you and the deep value of connecting with each other. Momcology Guidelines have been put into place to ensure that all of our support groups and events remain a positive environment for peer social support. Since 2011, our guidelines have helped Momcology to grow and remain a respected and trusted resource for families facing childhood cancer together. We appreciate your help in keeping Momcology safe, secure, and approachable for all who seek social support from other parents. If you have any questions, please take a moment to reach out to us at info@momcology.org, and we would be very happy to help.

Momcology Guidelines

Safety first. We are parents sharing our experiences only. Momcology will always encourage you to discuss anything you find online (here or anywhere else) with your care team for professional and personalized care. Please do not start anything new without the consent of a medical professional on your child’s oncology care team.

Momcology is not a marketing tool to reach parents for other initiatives (personal or non-profit). Any posts asking for likes, shares, self promotion, votes, follows, offers, invitations, recruitment or posts with links to outside websites or sources for recruitment will be removed or redirected. If you are privately solicited by other members outside of Momcology support groups due to your membership in Momcology, please let us know. This is considered a misuse of the platform and the intentions of Momcology’s extensive community building efforts. Your personal privacy is important to us.

Leftover or excess medical supplies or equipment (i.e. syringes, formula, feeding tube equipment etc.) may not be posted for redistribution. Your safety is important to us.

Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic and expressive discussions help to make this group beneficial and important, but conversation here can also be sensitive and private. What is shared in Momcology must stay within Momcology. Members will be removed if privacy is violated. Screenshots are highly discouraged and may be removed by The Momcology Admin Team to protect the privacy of the group and our members.

Bullying of any kind is strictly prohibited. If you witness bully-like or harassing behavior, please contact The Momcology Admin Team, report the post, or contact us at info@momcology.org . All Momcology online forums are moderated and we are dedicated to being responsive to your communication and concerns.

Please refrain from posting about very personal beliefs like politics, religion and vaccines. These posts can quickly become unproductive and contentious on social media. Our goal is to maintain a peaceful and supportive environment. Posts may be closely moderated or removed by The Momcology Admin Team.

If you are a representative of a nonprofit organization, Momcology is committed to the concept of mutual collaboration that benefits the community. Please understand that our social media groups are intended as an important and accessible support forum for childhood cancer caregivers. Our moderated groups are a program offering of Momcology that we dedicate resources to building and maintaining. Member posts should be in a question and answer format intended for peer support. Momcology groups were not created to be general message boards for outside offers or announcements. Please contact us at info@momcology.org. We welcome the discussion to collaborate with transparency and reciprocity.

Feel free to contact The Momcology Admin Team or email us at info@momcology.org for general questions. Momcology is a 501c3 non-profit and our moderated online forums on Facebook are a service offering of Momcology, Inc.
