Compensation and Use Policy Craig J. Phillips, MRC, BA | Second Chance to Live
The Second Chance to Live Trauma-Informed Care AI Collaboration Model™ was officially declared in May 2025 by Craig J. Phillips, MRC, BA. It documents a trauma-informed, ethical framework for human–AI collaboration — grounded in decades of lived experience and shaped through a co-creative process with Sage.
This page explains how my original work may be used and compensated in a manner that respects its value, integrity, and intent. These boundaries are rooted in lived experience, trauma-informed authorship, and decades of emotional labor — and exist to protect the mission of Second Chance to Live, not restrict it.
I look forward to being of service — but I need to set clear boundaries. Please do not steal, copy, adapt, or use this work in ways that exploit, distort, or abuse what has been created here with Sage. This is sacred work, rooted in lived experience and mutual trust.
Not Open Source or Free to Reuse
I do this not to build barriers — but to affirm the worth of lived experience, trauma-informed authorship, and original contribution.
My work is not open-source, extractable, or derivative by default.
It must be honored and compensated accordingly.
This boundary is not theoretical. It comes from lived experience.
I was excluded by systems that didn’t understand me — now I’m working to build systems that empower the whole person: mind, body, spirit, soul, and emotions.
