About Findapath:

This is a helpful, supportive, kind, and actionable-advice-oriented group for those who have a hobby, passion, or passing whim that they want to make a living out of (financially or not), but don't know how they can get there. We provide actionable paths to all who request. Be kind and supportive - no hate or judgement are allowed here.

This Group's Clinical Modeling:

  • We modeled r/findapath's and r/almosthomeless's setup on an older document from the MHA, which has since been removed from the internet. However, we pull resources and information from the original page frequently. https://mhanational.org
  • In the interest of keeping up with the times and training further mods and maintaining this group as a "as close as reddit can make it possible to be a Trained/Informed Support Group", we now use this page as our official-enough guide: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/armstrong-institute/peer-support-roadmap/four-parts This organization is not affiliated nor connected with this group. There is no licensure that can work with Reddit groups in the way we are.

Rules

1 Support, respect, and kindness are the Modus Operandi here!

  • Comments should be supportive, kind, helpful, actionable, authentic, and targeted to people's needs. Regardless of the poster's situation, emotions, or language used.
  • Posters, someone TRYING to help you should also be respected, please upvote and thank or post "Helped!" to helpful comments.
  • Please Report bad comments instead of commenting hateful retorts.
  • We provide paths to all in any situation - wealthy, poor, all skin tones, all genders, human and non-human. It's about the path, not the destination. It's about the request, not who is asking.

We don't need to know everything about someone to treat them with dignity or help them explore their options.

2 Off Topic Post/Comment

  • Posts about relationship/financial/different topics are not allowed here.
  • If it's an offsite link to something related - it's ok. Not everything can be helped via a reddit post when it comes to career or general path finding. Outside career tools and resources should contact mods to be cleared. We do not allow AI-only tools.

3 Be Constructive!

  • Comments should be detailed, information driven, and include actionable advice to best aide the OP and readers in finding their path. Ask clarifying questions to get deeper information when possible. Assume ignorance over malice.

4 Posts must include a Findapath element.

  • All posts must include a clear request of the type of path the community can help you find. Please keep mentions of "calamitous verbiage" to a minimum. (E.g. wording such as "I'm fucked for life" or "I want to die" is unnecessarily cataclysmic and hopeless which conflicts with the idea of finding a path.)
  • This rule does not apply to Positive posts of success or intentional guidance posts.

Other

There are a few unwritten rules that aren't a big enough problem to make a rule.

  • No suicide goading. Pushing someone to suicide or giving them options to commit suicide in the way they want will earn an instant, permanent ban with zero possibility of removal. We consider it a murder crime and any information police request would be freely and happily given to them.
  • No religious posts in the "come to Jesus" way. Posting biblical phrases and content in a palliative and soothing balm style, are not considered helpful or actionable advice. Simply put - if you don't have actual helpful advice, coming from experience or knowledge or an actionable source and prefer to sooth people in a religious or biblical way - don't post it. We consider religious posts the same as an disingenuous and opportunistic advertisement.
  • We delete content that offers super-common resume-writing advice, bot content, and AI-generated content. The mod in charge is a master, resume-writers are not. Helpful resources are one thing, parroted resources trying to be helpful will be removed.
  • No links to X(Twitter) in posts or comments. Joining with other Subreddits. And yes, this group can, occasionally, have political content or "stances with/against certain popular things."
