In the article's introduction, Scott shared his own experience as a therapist working with many clients who suffer from anxiety & panic attacks.

- Mention 3 top strengths of the article in terms of Best Practices.
-
The article combined the personal experiences of the author along with the view of an expert (as they were an expert in this). This also included how their family dealt with the stigma of a family member’s suicide.
-
There were facts backed up by research (the stats of 1 in 5 people are living with a mental health condition)

1.) So, it has a really supportive tone and yet offers helpful information for the topic discussed. On the one hand, the writer gives hope and empathy to the readers and also provides a sense of relatability throughout the content, but on the other hand, the writer also makes sure to provide information, and also came straight to the point without any delay.
2.) The article was concise and thorough . It took me around 3 minutes to read the whole article. The article did not obsess over a particular topic and instead, it made me feel like I was sitting with the writer and listening to them, due to the friendly, yet informative tone of the content.
3.) The information provided was backed up with their respective sources, which also checks the check-box called ‘Back-linking’. There were several backlinks which confirmed all the information being shared. Some of them are -->

Thought it might help! Keep up the great work.
@cuteeeezombieeee
Thanks! I did try this method, but it was not working. 😅 It usually did, but I dunno, maybe some glitch. Thanks for the help!
Name of the article: No Thanks, I Don't Drink Anymore.
Strengths: 1.) Personal, inspiring story, which shows a great example of getting sober.
2.) The article offers hope and empathy to people struggling with addiction.
3.) Conciseness
EAT:
Expertise: The article is comprehensive, yet digestible. Additionally, I consider ex-addicts as "experts" for this topic, since how could one tell others about getting from the rock bottom when they don't have the slightest idea about it? Books and degrees will never make you understand addiction like people who experienced it understand it.
Authority: Author tells a true personal story. It's published on 7 Cups, a trusted Mental Health Organization.
Trust: The article is published on 7 Cups, a well-known Mental Health Organization. Also, only a fool would make up a story about addiction that is untrue - only a fool who has no respect for people who struggle with addiction. And I don't believe that this person is a fool, I find her story rather inspiring and beautiful, therefore I trust her.
Graphic:
https://imgur.com/KuthnUh 
Article chosen: https://www.7cups.com/experts/the-only-way-to-heal-it-is-to-feel-it
Best practices:
- it has a good header & subheader. Catchy and subheader starts with 'why learning about is...'
- it's shareable
- it's emphatic and gives you hope
ETA feedback: Expertise: there's not numbers or resources listed in this article but it's really personal, addresses 'you' and is easy to read. Authority: while no while no authority is listed, this is clearly lived advice which seems pretty helpful. Perhaps there could be more references to stats or information that could be checked too. Trust: this was written by a therapist so they're trusted and valued members. The content also references to experience and really gives you hope that you can live through your trauma by feeling it.

and in the end the love you take, is equal to the love you make. - Mel, 7Cups Ambassador
