A couple of points to help you stay safe:
-
- Some areas of LEA are public, so please be aware of this before you share information about yourself in the discussion area.
- Make sure you do not share personal information about others.
- We recommend members do not share their whole name, for signing up with LEA but consider using just your first and the first letter of your last name.
- While we recommend members be careful about what they share with each other, sharing other information such as hobbies, age, gender, and interests, if you feel comfortable doing so, can assist in building a supportive environment.
