Editorial Policy
How MindGood Creates and Maintains Public Content
MindGood publishes educational content to help users better understand therapy, mental health concerns, and the process of finding support. Our editorial policy is designed to keep that content clear, responsible, and useful.
Why we publish content
Our content is created to help users make more informed decisions about therapy, understand common concerns, and find support in language that feels approachable.
We aim to publish content that is practical, accurate, and respectful of the fact that mental health information can affect real decisions.
Editorial principles
We use a people-first approach. Content should be helpful, easy to understand, and written with care rather than inflated with unsupported claims.
- Clarity over hype
- Responsible mental health framing
- Respect for cultural and language context
- Plain-language explanations where possible
- Regular review and improvement of important pages
Content ownership and updates
MindGood may revise, expand, or retire content when information changes, when new therapist inventory becomes available, or when we identify clearer ways to support users.
We also improve content when we find places where users may misinterpret informational pages as emergency or diagnostic guidance.
What our editorial content is not
MindGood content is not a substitute for personalized medical advice, diagnosis, emergency evaluation, or urgent psychiatric care.
Our educational pages are intended to help users learn and navigate support options, not to replace direct care from an appropriate professional.
