I. Clarification of Purpose 

• Unmasked is committed to making a positive difference in students' lives through peer support. 

• Unmasked is NOT a crisis intervention service. Support is provided by users and does not constitute the practice of medicine, mental health therapy, or other professional healthcare advice, diagnosis, or treatment; the support provided by users is NOT a substitute for the knowledge, skill, and judgment of qualified psychiatrists, psychologists, physicians, and healthcare professionals. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified healthcare provider with any questions you may have regarding medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

• If you are under a doctor's or other qualified healthcare provider's care, do not disregard the professional advice they provide or delay seeking professional care because of any exchanges with users or any information you may have read on this mobile application.
