ABOUT THESE TERMS
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to the Breakout Youth Mental Health Summit ("Breakout", "the Summit", "we", "our", or "us") and to www.breakout.community ("the Website").
Breakout is hosted by the Department of Health, Government of Bermuda.
By using the Website, registering for the Summit, or taking part in Summit activities, you agree to these Terms. Where a student is registered, the parent or guardian accepts these Terms on the student's behalf.
These Terms should be read together with the Breakout Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information is collected, used and protected.
DEFINITIONS
- "Student" means a young person registered to attend the Summit.
- "Parent or guardian" means the adult with parental responsibility who provides consent for a student.
- "Participant" means any person taking part in the Summit, including students, presenters, facilitators, volunteers and school representatives.
- "Sessions" means workshops, creative expression sessions, talks and other Summit activities.
ELIGIBILITY
The Summit is intended for M3 to S2 students, generally aged 13 to 16, from public and private schools in Bermuda.
Capacity is limited and registration is required. A place is not guaranteed until the registration is complete.
Breakout may manage registrations to support fair access across participating schools.

A registration is not complete until the required parent or guardian consent, waiver and emergency contact information have been provided.
You agree that the information you submit is accurate and complete, and that you will tell Breakout about any important changes.
Breakout may decline or cancel a registration that is incomplete, inaccurate or duplicated.
SESSION SELECTION
Students may select preferred sessions during registration. Each session has limited capacity.
Session preferences are not guaranteed. Breakout may allocate a student to an alternative session based on capacity, scheduling and the day their school is attending.
Students should confirm which day their school is attending before selecting sessions.
Session content, facilitators, times and rooms may change.
PARENTAL CONSENT AND WAIVER
Parent or guardian consent is required for every student.
By providing consent, the parent or guardian confirms that they have authority to do so and that they have read these Terms, the waiver and the Privacy Policy.
The waiver completed during registration forms part of these Terms.
EVENT DETAILS AND CHANGES
The Summit is scheduled for October 13–15, 2026 at Warwick Camp, Bermuda.

WELLBEING AND SUPPORT
Some conversations may bring up difficult emotions. Mental health and wellness professionals will be available throughout the Summit.
Students may step away from any session and ask to speak with a member of staff at any time.
Summit sessions are educational. They are not a substitute for individual medical, psychological or counselling advice, diagnosis or treatment.
In an emergency, call 911.
SAFEGUARDING
Breakout follows Child Protection and Safeguarding procedures.
Where a disclosure or observation suggests that a young person or another person may be at risk of harm, Breakout will not promise absolute confidentiality and may share information with appropriate people or authorities, as described in the Privacy Policy.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Where a student becomes ill, is injured or needs to leave the event, Breakout will contact the parent or guardian using the emergency contact details provided.
In urgent situations, Summit staff may seek emergency medical assistance before a parent or guardian can be reached.
Some sessions involve movement. Students should wear their school gym uniform and suitable footwear.
Parents or guardians should make appropriate arrangements with the student's school for any medication or additional support the student needs during the day.
PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO
Photography and video may take place during the Summit.
Use of identifiable images of students for publicity is subject to the photo release and consent provided during registration.

Students may create artwork, writing, recordings and other work during sessions, including contributions to the community mural.
Collaborative pieces, such as the mural, may be displayed publicly by Breakout and the Government of Bermuda. Individual students will not be identified by name without consent.
