Rights, Consent, and Safety

Non-negotiable gates

• No Chris Webby, Ren, Inpatient, Asylum, EightyHD, or associated name, mark, likeness, recording, lyric, video, artwork, or character is used in a public release without written authorization from the appropriate rights holder.
• Separate permissions are required for composition, master recording, lyrics, artwork, video, name/likeness, and trademarks where applicable.
• No public statement may imply that interest, a reply, or private review equals partnership.
• Creative, approval, credit, compensation, withdrawal, and award-submission terms must be written before production involving an artist begins.
• Ren is not a participant in the continuing project. Historical references do not imply a present relationship. Chris can authorize only his own contribution; no participant can authorize another person's protected material.

Mental-health safeguards

• Lived-experience reviewers and qualified mental-health/community-care advisers review the pilot before release.
• Participation is voluntary; prompts may be skipped without penalty.
• No diagnosis, treatment recommendation, symptom scoring, or collection of medical records.
• Crisis resources are localizable and clearly separated from the artistic experience.
• Public support resource: HeartSupport (https://heartsupport.com/) may be provided as a public peer-support resource; it is not a substitute for emergency services, clinical care, or event staff escalation.
• Facilitators receive a scope and escalation guide; they are not represented as therapists unless independently licensed and serving in that role.
• The experience avoids “dangerous patient,” genius-through-suffering, and cure-through-friendship narratives.

Research boundary

Initial evaluation is program feedback, not human-subjects research. If the team later seeks generalizable research findings, biomarker data, clinical measures, or publication, work pauses until an academic partner determines whether ethics/IRB review is required. Consent, confidentiality, data minimization, and anonymization must be documented.

AI disclosure

AI assistance may be disclosed as production and editorial support. It is not credited as an author, participant, clinician, or source of lived experience. All consequential claims require human review and traceable sources.

Brand safety without silencing

Safety review is for accuracy, consent, accessibility, and non-harm. It cannot be used to erase legitimate criticism of institutions or to manufacture a redemption narrative for any participant.
