Hmmm. It might be good to install as a house norm that everyone has an outside advisor that they commit to checking in with, either once a week or biweekly. Like, someone not directly affiliated with Dragon Army in any way.
That’s only useful if the outside advisor has some level of veto power. I’d suggest something like allowing them to trigger a discussion meeting /outside of Dragon Army Territory/ with the advised, optionally including the Commander and/or other members, and also at the option of the advisor including legal counsel or a medical practitioner.
Not because I expect anyone to need the safeguards involved, but because making those explicitly part of the Expectations makes it harder to coerce somebody into not getting help. Making coercion of the type “You’re fine, no need to waste time and leaving your ingroup to try to explain to some /outsider/ what’s going on, they won’t understand anyway” ring red alarm bell flags is a feature.
Can I get contact info from you? I already have Malcolm’s; if there’s an email address you can use to send a message to TK17Studios at gmail dot com, I can then offer that address to anyone without an obvious check-in.

I am open to being an outside advisor / buddy / contact etc to individuals within this and/or with the project as a whole.
Me too!

Sent.
Throwing in with Malcolm as interested in being an outside sanity check.
