Introduction
This Member Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Roll2Heal, a non-profit organization (“Organization”), and the undersigned individual (“Member”), a veteran or first responder participating in Roll2Heal’s tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) sessions. The purpose of this Agreement is to clarify the nature of Roll2Heal’s services, outline participant responsibilities, and establish the Organization’s non-liability for certain actions or outcomes
By signing this Agreement, the Member acknowledges understanding and agreeing to the terms outlined below
1. Purpose and Scope of Roll2Heal Sessions
Roll2Heal organizes TTRPG sessions to provide a supportive and recreational community for veterans and first responders. These sessions are designed to foster social engagement, camaraderie, and stress relief through collaborative storytelling and gaming.
Non-Therapeutic Nature: Roll2Heal sessions are not therapy or mental health treatment. They are recreational activities intended to promote relaxation and social connection, which may help alleviate stress associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but are not designed or intended to treat or manage PTSD or any other medical or psychological condition
No Professional Services: Roll2Heal does not employ licensed therapists or medical professionals to provide clinical services during sessions. Members should not consider participation in Roll2Heal activities as a substitute for professional mental health care
2. Non-Liability for Member Actions
Roll2Heal is not responsible or liable for the actions, behaviors, or decisions of any Member, including those that may be influenced by PTSD or other mental health conditions. Specifically
PTSD Episodes: The Organization acknowledges that some Members may experience PTSD-related episodes. Roll2Heal is not liable for any harm, injury, or damages caused by a member’s actions during or as a result of such episodes, whether to themselves, other Members, or third parties
Independent Actions: Members are solely responsible for their own conduct during and outside of Roll2Heal sessions. The Organization does not assume responsibility for monitoring or controlling Member behavior
3. Encouragement of Peer Support
Roll2Heal fosters a community of mutual support among Members. While the Organization does not provide professional crisis intervention, Members are encouraged to:
Reach out to one another for emotional support during times of distress, including PTSD-related crises, in a manner that is respectful and consensual.
Share resources, such as contact information for professional mental health services, when appropriate
Members acknowledge that any peer support provided is voluntary and not facilitated or supervised by Roll2Heal. The Organization is not liable for the outcomes of such interactions
4. Release of Liability
By participating in Roll2Heal sessions, the Member agrees to release, waive, and discharge Roll2Heal, its officers, volunteers, and affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to:
Any physical, emotional, or financial harm experienced during or as a result of participation in Roll2Heal sessions.
Any actions taken by other Members, including those related to PTSD or other mental health conditions.
The Member’s own actions or decisions during or outside of sessions.
This release of liability is intended to protect Roll2Heal from legal action, including but not limited to lawsuits related to Member conduct or the outcomes of participation.
5. Member Responsibilities
Members agree to:
Participate in Roll2Heal sessions respectfully and in good faith, adhering to community guidelines provided by the Organization.
Seek professional mental health care from licensed providers for the treatment of PTSD or other medical or psychological conditions, as needed.
Acknowledge that Roll2Heal is not a substitute for professional care and that participation is at the Member’s own risk
6. Termination of Participation
Roll2Heal reserves the right to terminate a Member’s participation in sessions at its discretion, including for behavior that disrupts the community or violates this Agreement. Termination does not affect the Member’s obligations under this Agreement.
7. Acknowledgment and Signature
