❤️ Thank you for this activity! ❤️

❤️ I chose How to Let Go of the Need for Approval by Ilene S. Cohen. ❤️

❤️ Some of the strengths this article exhibits: ❤️

❤️ 1- It uses hyperlinks to guide the reader to several 7 Cups resources (which is really useful). ❤️

❤️ 2- It is concise and thorough, making it easy to read. ❤️

❤️ 3- It is very empathetic (it clearly knows what the reader needs and delivers that). ❤️

❤️ Overall, it is a really helpful article! Regarding the Expertise, it could include more research, but it uses 7 Cups services to supplement the content (which is comprehensive and digestive). Regarding the Authority, it is not a widely shared article (which is understandable), but it is relevant content written by an expert. Regarding the Trustworthiness, it could have cited authoritative sources, but the author's biography validates the content (I personally found this author trustworthy). ❤️

1. Pick an expert advice.

I chose to give my feedback on the following article
"Synesthesia Truth: Eating Words and Seeing Sounds
Understanding the neuropsychological phenomenon" since Synesthesia is a characteristic of neurodivergence and I experience it myself.

https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/synesthesia-truth-eating-words-and-seeing-sounds

2. Identify 3 strengths.

1) The article is concise, it's extremely direct to the point and the language is very accessible.
2) There are a few hyperlinks (video, another expert article (depression)) to enrich the article
3) The article connects to 7 cups resources (therapy, growth path, support chat).

3. Give 2 comments for each EAT factor :

E - Amy is a CDM and GLDD graduate and listener at 7 cups.
E - Amy mentions having experience of working with people aspiring to improve their mental wellbeing. I feel like this could be improved in giving a better sense of what she has done/her impact. Like maybe "many individuals benefited from my support in improving their mental wellbeing when..."?

A - Amy has had a lot of involvement/training with 7cups (Graduated 2 programs, community leader and hosting group support discussions...)
A - Amy does not have any personal experience or professional experience to directly connect her with a subject, maybe she could have requested an expert quote or added a few links to evidence-based articles on the subject.

T - Amy is a prospective psychology student and mentions her desire to find new opportunities to learn and progress.
T - I feel it could be improved by citing sources.

The article I chose to review was this one about ADHD myths as my article will focus on ADHD too.

Top 3 Strengths

1) This article would benefit a wide range of audiences including family members or friends of those with ADHD in addition to those working in education or care and people who have (or think they have) ADHD.

2) This article is very sharable on social media. Each point could be made into seperate posts or you could ask a question - 'what do you know about ADHD?' with links to the article.

3) It includes several expert quotes and insights and also is very thorough in each of it's points.

Expertise
a) The content is well explained combining lots of detail with clearly defined sections allowing the reader to digest the information more easily.
b) There are lots of back links in this article however they are mainly linking to group support sections of the site rather than other articles. In this case it may be because there are no other articles on ADHD specifically.

Authority
a) There is a lack of citations in this article. There are lots of useful and clearly researched information however the lack of citations makes it hard to trust the voice here.
b) The brand of 7cups is clearly well mentioned and plenty of backlinks are provided to different ares of the site. 7 cups does have a wiki page too.

Trust
a)Author biography mentions experience with the topic and shows a commitment to mental health through trainings completed.
b) The use of links to an external website ADDitude builds trust as the site is cites it's sources and has extensive social media coverage.

This is my graphic for it!I know it's rather busy but that's half the point. It's reflective of an ADHD brain :) Oh and the underlined this is a link to the article.
