Protect Privacy in Family Updates

A family group chat can make coordination convenient. It can also spread details farther than someone intended. Being related does not automatically mean everyone needs access to the same information.

Ask what may be shared, with whom, and for what purpose. Keep updates focused on agreed practical needs, such as the time of a visit or an errand assignment. Avoid posting account details, private documents, or personal concerns in a large group. Revisit consent when circumstances change. Good support includes protecting the person's voice in conversations that concern their life.

Try this: Ask before sharing your next personal update about someone else.
