2. 3 top strengths:

   • Highlighted parts make the article easy to skim over and help the user quickly understand if it will be of interest to them.
   • The language is approachable and engaging.
   • The statements are backed up with research and evidence.

3. Review the Article for EAT

   • Experience: Could have had a bit more detail on experience outside of 7cups for e.g from their degree.
   • Trust: Degree in a related area

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.

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.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

The article I picked was "What is Homophobia? Dealing With Homophobia Within the Family"

https://www.7cups.com/experts/article/what-is-homophobia-within-families

Strengths: empathic, Informative, and relatable

EAT:

Expertise: the author of the article shows they have experience in talking about mental health issues as an editor so it shows their expertise in publishing articles.

Authority: The author shows their authority by stating the Merriam-Webster definition of homophobia and giving an example of real-life homophobia "For example, someone may express distress over a gay couple hugging or holding hands in public - they may feel the couple should keep their feelings to themselves and that it shouldn't be a big deal, but would they ask the same of a straight couple? Probably not. "

Trust: The author used someone's story to explain what it was like having a homophobic experience at home. it shows great trust to share a personal story with an author to teach people about what homophobia can do to mental health not only yourself but to other people around.

Three top strengths that this article shows are giving the reader empathy and hope, being conversational and accessible in their writing and finally, they have ideas that will be sharable in social media. I believe that Kristin shows in her biography that she is an active member of the 7 Cups community and has done her research. She has clear references that are linked and used her experience in the community to lend to the content’s expertise. I believe that this article could use a touch of combining personal experiences with expert insight to strengthen their piece. Also, I think if Kristen included a few expert quotes and insights the article would really pop! This was a great article overall and I have used it as one of my suggested links in my own article.

Graphic to promote the article:

1. I read Busting the 9 Biggest Myths and Misconceptions About ADHD.

• Links to many different sources to read more about the respective topic.
• Give people with ADHD hope and empathy
• The article is easily readable with the different fonts signaling importance of each section.

3. EATs break down

• Expertise - The author mentioned that they were pursuing the career path of being a clinical psychologist. Along with some of the other certifications they've received from doing training on 7Cups such as Active Listening levels 1-4 certificates.
• Authoritativeness - The author mentioned that they have successfully completed other academy programs from 7Cups such as Group Leadership & Dynamics and Development Program, 7 Cups Internship, Quality Listening Program, Leadership Development Program, Building Community Program, and the Content Development and Management Program. This means they completed all 6 programs that were ever available which is quite an accomplishment.
• Trust - They've gone above and beyond by taking on various leadership roles on the 7Cups platform helping out others in their journey. Along with their passion for mental health topic overall.

It is empowering as the writer has shared her own experience and enriched the article by her personal experience, connecting it to the readers who might have felt what the author has felt. It empowers the readers and motivates them to take a step forward in the right direction.
