This document outlines the scope, boundaries, and ethical standards governing all coaching, mentoring, educational programs, communities, and digital platforms operated by Santosh Acharya and SuperDads Alliance.

1. Scope of Practice: Coaching, Not Clinical Care

All services provided through this platform are offered strictly as performance, mindset, emotional leadership, and relationship coaching.

While therapy-informed tools, frameworks, and research may be referenced, the relationship between the Coach and Client is not a clinical, medical, psychiatric, or psychotherapeutic relationship.

No Diagnosis or Treatment

We do not diagnose, treat, prevent, or claim to cure any mental health disorder, psychological condition, trauma, depression, anxiety, or illness.

Educational Purpose

All content is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not replace professional medical, psychiatric, psychological, or legal advice.

Methodology

Our work is future-oriented and focuses on:

  • emotional regulation
  • self-responsibility
  • behavior change
  • leadership skills
  • relationship awareness

It does not involve clinical trauma resolution, crisis therapy, or psychiatric treatment.

2. Clinical Eligibility & Mandatory Referrals

Our programs are designed for individuals who are psychologically stable and capable of self-directed growth.

Clinical Oversight Disclosure

If you are currently under psychiatric care or taking medication for a diagnosed mental health condition, this must be disclosed prior to enrollment. Participation eligibility will be assessed on a case-by-case basis to ensure safety and appropriateness.

Mandatory Referral & Suspension

If a participant presents with clinical symptoms including (but not limited to):

  • suicidal ideation
  • self-harm behaviors
  • severe personality disorders
  • debilitating trauma responses
  • active psychosis or dissociation

we reserve the right to immediately suspend coaching and require referral to a licensed mental health professional.

Emergencies

If you are in immediate distress or crisis, contact local emergency services or medical professionals immediately.

2A. Violence, Abuse & Safety Exclusion

Our coaching programs, communities, and educational services are not suitable for situations involving physical violence, threats of violence, or credible risk of bodily harm.

Immediate Disengagement

If physical assault, strangulation, threats of harm, serious injury, or safety risks are disclosed or reasonably suspected at any point, coaching services will be immediately discontinued.

No Mediation or Influence

We do not provide:

  • mediation between partners
  • reconciliation guidance
  • indirect influence or communication between parties

in situations involving physical violence.

We will not communicate with one partner on behalf of the other under such circumstances.

Safety-First Direction

In cases involving violence or credible danger, clients will be advised to:

  • prioritize immediate physical safety
  • create distance from the unsafe situation
  • seek appropriate in-person support, including:
    • emergency services
    • medical or hospital professionals
    • domestic violence or safety helplines
    • qualified legal or mental health professionals

Finality of Disengagement

Disengagement due to safety concerns is final and non-negotiable and may include termination of access and processing of refunds where applicable.

3. Assumption of Risk & Personal Responsibility

By engaging with this platform or its services, you acknowledge and agree that:

Voluntary Participation

Your participation is voluntary, and you assume full responsibility for your physical, mental, emotional, and relational well-being.

Outcome Disclaimer

Results vary based on individual effort, readiness, and external circumstances. No specific outcomes, guarantees, or results are promised.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Santosh Acharya and SuperDads Alliance from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from your reliance on coaching, content, or participation.

4. Third-Party Platforms & Commercial Disclosures

Platform Dependency

Our services rely on third-party platforms such as learning management systems, messaging apps, video conferencing tools, and payment gateways. We are not responsible for outages, data loss, technical issues, or security breaches caused by these providers.

Affiliate Disclosure

Some materials may contain affiliate links. If you choose to purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Recommendations are based on professional judgment, but transactions are between you and the third party.

We are not responsible for the content, safety, or accuracy of external websites shared by us or community members.

5. Intellectual Property

All proprietary tools, frameworks, course materials, assessments, and content are the intellectual property of Santosh Acharya.

Unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or commercial use is strictly prohibited.

6. Community Standards & User-Generated Content

To protect the integrity and safety of all members:

Intermediary Liability

We act as a facilitator, not a publisher, of user-generated content. Views expressed by members are their own.

No Confidentiality Guarantee

While community guidelines encourage discretion, we cannot guarantee confidentiality in group environments. Do not share sensitive personal, medical, or legal information in community spaces.

Right to Moderate

We reserve the right to remove content or terminate access for behavior deemed unsafe, abusive, defamatory, promotional, or misaligned with community values.

Member Disputes

Members are responsible for their interactions. We are not liable for conflicts between participants.

No Crisis or Emergency Support

Our communities and facilitators are not equipped to provide crisis intervention, emergency response, or protection in situations involving abuse or immediate danger. Community participation must never replace emergency, medical, or legal support.

7. Acknowledgment of Boundaries

By participating in our programs or communities, you acknowledge that:

  • coaching is not therapy or crisis care
  • physical violence removes situations from the scope of coaching
  • safety-based disengagement is final
  • professional boundaries are non-negotiable

Closing Statement

Our commitment is to emotional leadership, responsibility, and safe growth.

When safety is compromised, the most ethical action is to step aside and direct individuals toward protection and appropriately trained professionals.

This disclaimer reflects our responsibility to clients, families, and the integrity of this practice.
