Not only did you properly address each part of the assignment, but your graphic design for this topic is the perfect illustration of the how the reader looking for help would be feeling 💙💙💙💙 Amazing job!

@SirenOfSerenity

Thank you ❤ 😊

The graphic design is also extremely pretty! 💙

I really like the graphic you’ve created, in particular how you’ve included your username/pseudonym. It is noticeable while still being subtle enough that it doesn’t take attention away from the focus of the graphic- brilliantly balanced!

Article selected: Hormonal Birth Control and Mental Health - The Facts You Need to Know

The first strength of the article is that it has an empathetic tone. Secondly, it is thorough, discussing multiple methods of hormonal birth control in detail. And the final strength I have identified in terms of best practices is that the article is easily shareable on social media platforms.

EXPERTISE: The biography at the end of the article reveals that the writer has been a 7 cups listener since 2021, showing expertise.

The biography also mentions that the writer is studying a degree. I think this could boost expertise, but it isn’t a degree related to the content of the article, whereas a degree related to hormonal birth control or mental health would further the expertise of the content even more.

AUTHORITY: The content shows authority through the many citations it includes, for example a hyperlink to research from The Guttmacher Institute.

The biography mentions that the writer has graduated from the CDM programme so that boosts the authority they have too.

TRUSTWORTHINESS: There is a high level of trust from this content as it is very thorough, including content on lots of forms of birth control.

The trustworthiness could be improved if the content on the birth control pill was edited slightly. There’s a lot of different pills available, but the article only discusses the combined hormonal pill in detail; it would be good to discuss pills containing only oestrogen in detail as well.

The graphic doesn’t seem to want to attach, so here’s a link, hope that’s okay.

@YellowButton223

Your review and mention of the strengths of the article was done really well. I also like the tips that you have mentioned to improve the article's EAT score.

The graphic was simple and nice. I loved the elements that you used in it- connected to the main heading

@SoulfullyAButterfly

The article I chose was Synesthesia Truth: Eating Words and Seeing Sounds

The strengths I found in the article : 1. Mention of saying that synesthesia is a psychological phenomenon instead of a disease or a disorder

2. Explained in simple terms

3. Well thorough

Review of the article :

Expertise- Need to mention any quote or citations about the recent research regarding synesthesia, the title could be more revised.

Authority - the author has mentioned their background in psychology, mentioning a few insights from other authoritative personality would be a good tip

Trust- The quality of the article is informative and trustworthy, although the author could've mentioned a few citations to builds its quality

The graphic that I created was :

@blissfulForest7074

I love your graphic and you really descried the article and it's strengths clearly.

@blissfulForest7074 Love everything! You clearly understand EAT and the graphic is so pretty.

@CosmicMiracle

I like the way you presented the material. Brief, straightforward, concise. The EAT analysis threw me. I learned from another site that EAT is Author, Author/ Content, Author/ Content. Here is a helpful article incase I am misquoting. Great job!

@CosmicMiracle

I also like the graphic. The moving books are a nice touch. I think of Instagram when I'm posting, so I try to make something eye catching that will grab your attention to read more and look at the post longer that 3 seconds!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

@admirableRose261

I keep following you :D thank you for your comments on my work <3

I like the flow of how you write things. It's smooth and digestible which is very important. As for the graphic, I love the simplicity and how clean and minimalist it looks. It doesn't take the attention away from the article itself. My only comment about it is the image used as it is something I cannot fully relate to schizophrenia and delusions. Maybe an image related to that would help readers connect your article to it? :)

@admirableRose261

Hi Rose,

Thank you for highlighting a really interesting article. I agree with your points and think that formatting is a huge part of the success of an article :)

Your graphic is very calming and I like how the image links to finding out information online. Calm font types and colours add a sense of peace and simplicity. Great job!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

@justFarheen

Very well written. Especially the EAT question! Well done!

❤️ 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). ❤️

❤️ ❤️

@Ayamii

To the point and structured strengths and E.A.T review. I love that the graphic is very informative too.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

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.

5. Feedback someone else's answer

Ayamii I really liked your work on this discussion, you have done every task in a very straightforward, exact and concise manner.

Your graphic is clear and simple while providing quality information.

@WhenTheTimeComes You were on point with your post. You made sure you gave two comments to every EAT factor. Your graphic is awesome. I really liked it. You post has inspired me to be better at my work

@WhenTheTimeComes

The article you chose is really interesting and I really like the infographic you provided about it! The graphic is detailed and it looks like how a person with synesthesia may experience the world!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

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.

Good job!

@guidamaximo

I thought your graphic was great, and the insertion of the 7 Cups logo on the cover of the laptop was clever. Your graphic was very clean and had a soothing palette and design, making it easy to read. You forgot to go over the authority part of your chosen article’s expertise, authority and trust! Other than that I thought you made a lot of very good points.

1. https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/how-do-you-cope-with-life

2. The article is concise and thorough, thus delivering all of the information the article’s readers require.

3. For expertise, the article was comprehensible and digestible, but the random full capitalization made flow difficult to maintain. There was not a whole lot of supplementary content, but since the end of the article goes into putting the positive coping skills into practice, a possible source of supplementary information would be how to put those skills into practice. For authority, there were no citations that could have helped support the article. However, 7 Cups does have brand authority which helps support the article. Trust was maintained through 7 Cups and a brief biography for the author of the article.

4.

Chosen Article: https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/post-traumatic-stress-disorder-the-different-types

3 Top Strengths of Article

• Using the DSM 5 as a source provides a sense of trust with the authors content because the DSM 5 is the authority on how to diagnose mental health conditions.

• The author was very thorough, yet concise in how she described the different types of PTSD and how they differ from one another

• The author also provides the reader with empathy and hope by providing resources to help when someone is experiencing symptoms related to PTSD.

EAT from Article:

Expertise: author graduated from CDM Program, is a listener on 7cups, and has spent time learning about the topic.

Authoritativeness: has completed the CDM Program and had other articles published on 7cups

Trust: using reputable sources and providing accurate information about the topic.

@InvaderStitch

I love the graphic! I also did not know about Uncomplicated PTSD. I like how you are able to capture the article and what it talks about in one graphic to get people curious about the article. i know it made me curious to read it now.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

The article I read was What are the 3 types of Insomnia?

The three strengths is the empathic tone, it is very informative and is conversational.

Expertise – it was very informative. Biography mentions the graduation from the Content Development and Marketing Program.

Authoritative – they are clearly well educated on the topic.

Trustworthiness – trust worthy as it is a member of 7Cups and provides studies to support their content.
