1. No Medical or Mental Health Advice
Information on The Maritime Brotherhood website is provided for general educational, informational, peer-support, recreational, and self-reflection purposes only.
Nothing on this website should be interpreted as medical advice, psychological advice, counselling, diagnosis, treatment, or a substitute for assessment or care from a qualified healthcare professional.
2. Emergency and Crisis Situations
This website, its administrators, volunteers, community chat, contact forms, AI tools, and other features are not emergency services and may not be monitored in real time.
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. In Canada, if you are thinking about suicide or are worried about someone who may be, call or text 988.
3. Peer Support
Community discussions are peer-to-peer conversations. Community members may share personal experiences or opinions, but they are not speaking as healthcare professionals unless explicitly identified as such in an appropriate professional context.
Advice or opinions shared by community members should not be treated as professional guidance.
4. ADHD Attention & Response Activity
The website's attention and response activity is an educational self-reflection activity. It is not intended to screen for, diagnose, detect, predict, prevent, monitor, treat, or manage ADHD or any other health condition.
Its questionnaire, calculations, timing measurements, charts, and written summaries are not clinically validated diagnostic instruments and do not use official clinical T-scores, diagnostic cut-offs, risk models, or proprietary normative data.
5. Frequency Lab and Sound Tools
Solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, ambient audio, and similar sound features are provided for general listening, relaxation, meditation, focus, or recreational use. Descriptions of commonly associated uses or traditions are not claims that a sound treats, prevents, or cures a health condition.
Keep audio at a comfortable volume and stop using a sound feature if you feel discomfort.
6. Games, Breathing and Self-Reflection Tools
Mood tools, breathing exercises, games, journaling prompts, self-reflection activities, and similar features are intended as general wellness or educational tools. Individual experiences vary, and these tools are not substitutes for professional care.
7. Artificial Intelligence
AI-generated responses may contain errors, misunderstandings, outdated information, or inappropriate suggestions. AI is not a human professional and should not be relied on for emergencies, diagnosis, treatment, medication decisions, or other high-stakes decisions.
8. Resource Listings and Phone Numbers
The Maritime Brotherhood makes reasonable efforts to provide useful resources, links, phone numbers, and service information, but external information can change without notice.
You should confirm important details directly with the service provider before relying on them.
