Trigger warnings

If something you're posting online includes graphic or descriptive content or content that might be distressing to others, you should think about including a trigger warning in your post.

A trigger warning is a statement at the start of your post that tells other users that the post may contain distressing content. This should be put at the beginning of your post, so readers can decide whether or not they continue to read the post. It should also include a link or information on available support services.

If your post contains images, photos or videos, you should think about providing a trigger warning first and posting the content in the comment section or feed below so that other users can decide whether they want to see your post or not.

We've created some templates you might like to use in your video, story or post.
