2) Community Questions and Answers - The Basis of Mental Health Awareness and Support

SoulfullyAButterfly January 24th, 2021
.

As previously introduced, the Questions and Answers Pages at 7 Cups offer a wide range of quality based answers to common mental health questions

Questions and Answers are available for 38 main categories, ranging from General Mental Health, Disabilities, Managing Emotions, Loneliness, Grief, Recovery, Student Life, Work Stress, and many more!

Through this directory of available knowledge, awareness, and support, 7 Cups is equipped with answers to the common questions and concerns people have. Most of these Questions and Answers are featured in search engine results due to the value of the content they contain.

The main community Questions and Answers Page offers a recent questions section as well as a section containing the most answered questions.

All 7 Cups users are invited to search for or ask new questions through the main page. Community users can also participate in this area by submitting their answers, which are reviewed by a team for quality and other important requirements.

Through this discussion, we will discuss the basic requirements needed to research as well as write quality answers for the Question and Answer Pages. Additionally, we will optimize the drafted answers in light of certain guidelines.

(i) Basic Research and Writing Requirements: When writing answers to community questions, keep in mind these tips:

  • You need to write a minimum of 150 characters and 100 words.

  • If research is needed to guide your answer, consider only learning about the topic and avoid direct copy/pasting researched tips, advice, or information.

  • Consider verifying the information or facts through at least 2 reliable sources.

  • When researching possible answers or things the person can benefit from, consider their circumstances and if the tip is do-able and generally applicable.

  • Avoid plagiarism.

  • Use professional and appropriate language.

  • If comfortable, you can add a personal anecdote to help add meaning to your answer. However, avoid turning the answer to just your account or an entire focus on your experience.

  • Be empathetic, and consider using active listening skills to help not only answer their question but their feelings - this adds connection and meaning to your answer, as well as identifies understanding, which can lead to trust.

  • Answers should be related to the question and must contain tips or approaches to help deal with the question/situation instead of vague responses, even if positive.

  • 7 Cups is based on avoiding direct advice, this is because we do not know the complete scenario or situation a person may be facing. Keeping that in mind, avoid giving answers that provide one possible “solution” - a good tip is to consider encompassing all possible outcomes or more than one thing the person can try.

(ii) Ensuring Optimized Answers: Although the above requirements and tips help deliver a great answer, further optimization of drafted answers can help ensure their quality.

At 7 Cups, the Content Team uses researched and identified important keywords to guide their research and the writing process to result in optimized content as answers to community questions. In this regard, the basic tips/requirements involved are:

  • Ensure answers have at least 8 to 10 sentences.

  • Ensure the usage/incorporation of the maximum number or all of the provided keywords that can relate to the topic.

What are Keywords?

Generally, keywords can be thought of as terms or phrases that describe a piece of content. Related keywords are supporting keywords that can help further describe or expand on that initial content. For example, for the keyword “anxiety”, related keywords can be “anxiety symptoms” or “anxiety treatments”.

Keywords help with search engine marketing and hence are an important part of SEO strategies. A simple strategy to find keywords is to look for Google Related Searches. These related searches are searches that relate to your term. For instance, a Google Related Search for “anxiety symptoms” is “what is anxiety” - using this insight, you can consider including this phrase alongside a brief category of your content outline to help strengthen the optimization of your content.

Review this Sample Optimized Answer:

Question: How do paper bags help with panic attacks?

Provided Keywords: asthma attack, heart attacks, asthma, problems, brown paper bag, medical conditions, hyperventilation syndrome, mouth, respiratory alkalosis, common causes, chest pain, benefit, stress, medications

Approved, Optimized Answer:

While panic attacks might mimic the symptoms of heart attacks, they can be caused by several other problems and medical conditions. These include feeling stressed or facing medical conditions such as asthma attacks, hyperventilation syndrome, or even respiratory alkalosis. Although the common causes may differ, common symptoms include chest pain. Deep breathing through the mouth or by using a brown paper bag has its benefits, as it aids in the restoration of the loss of carbon dioxide in the blood during the panic attack.

Notes: The question was general, requiring general research-based knowledge on the process of using paper bags for panic attacks. As the keywords were essentially covered, note that this answer does not have 8-10 sentences, but further supporting information or even a personal anecdote can be added.

The following activity will help you put your attained knowledge to practice. Please write an optimized answer to the following community question, in light of the provided keywords.

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

You could have lot of qualities in you, yet somebody might not like you as much as you might like them. You might want to be with them, but they might not want to as much be with you.

You look to reflect - what is less in me, what do I do to attract the company of the person to my life. Despite trying hard, even hardest, all starts to feel disappointing and invain.

This happens sometimes. Not always does your frequency matches with another person. Acceptance, then, seems to be the only answer.

Strive to be the best version of yourself, but more importantly, let things/persons naturally enter your life; let them naturally leave too.

@Fristo Your response is empathetic, uses professional language and offers an approach without being imposing. Nice job. It would benefit from having more of the provided keywords though, but I understand that they can be hard to incorporate.

@FinleyTews I definitely agre

@Fristo

My three strengths to you: I liked that you kept things simple, brought up reflection as a valuable tool, and naturally reminded the person that things sometimes happen outside of our control. My tip to you - maybe you can add a few more of the recommended keyboards to amplify your already awesome writing. Overall, lovely response! :)

@Fristo Thank you for sharing - your tone has a great motivational feel to it and I like how that adds to the level of support. I hope some practice with incorporating keywords will help strengthen your response.

@Fristo

heyy fristo as you know my task is to name 3 strengths and 1 improve tip

3 strengths: post was well written , clear to understand , loved the tone too however my tip to improve it didn't answer the question at least not to me anyway if I had received that answer id be like that's not the issue the issue is I feel I'm not good enough if it was a question about what to do if someone doesn't like me back then this answer would be perfect overall though good job

@Fristo

3 strengths: Post was well-written, simple and clear, and the tone is perfect. My tip: Improving the content further by adding a few more of the keyboards.

But it was a job well done! :)

@Fristo

Nicely & precisely answered. yes

I think maybe you could have elaborated those points a bit using a few of those keywords but overall well done. heart

@Fristo

3 strengths: a really kind response to such a problem.

It felt as though you truly understood where the person is coming from.

Great use of active listening skills.

Weakness: could use more SEO keywords

GoldenRuleJG March 24th, 2021

@Fristo Your answer gives the reader a sense of hope. Well done . Only tip would be to refer more to the key words otherwise nice answer . 👏👏

@Fristo Good answer. I loved reading it.
I felt you answered the question, to the best of your ability.
Well done.

@Fristo

As you know my task is to state 3 of your strengths and highlight 1 tip to improve your skills.

Nice tone, proper use of keywords, clear to understand, however my tip to improve it will be to reduce the repetition eg. you used: "you might like them they might not", "you might want them they might not". This could easily be addressed in a single sentence.

No hard feelings, Best of luck!!

@Fristo

Hello, Fristo! I loved how your post was professional, motivational, using reflection as the main tool. Simple, professional, and inspiring yet it was in no way authoritative or assertive.

A well-written post.

I would have loved to see you using more of the keywords.

TrickyRicky October 22nd, 2021

Strengths are that you validate who is reading, provide empathy, and tell a story.


The ending is does need a but of elaboration though.

@Fristo

That was great and very heartfelt. It was also very positive and helpful.

You made me feel good and I didn't need it.

@Fristo Very well articulated, nice use of transition words, and optimization of content and information. Well done!

AliveandAlive January 29th, 2022

@Fristo An improvement area could be adding more keywords which can help to make content more searchable.

Ninziesss March 1st, 2022

@Fristo

I really like your response. You sounds very empathic and you don't over do it! :)

Strengths:

1. Easy to understand.
2. Nice and caring tone, gave me a sense of hope!
3. Well-written.

Improve: Could maybe use a bit more keywords.

you did a great job thank you for your insights

considerateDog9882 July 23rd, 2022

@Fristo Hi Fristo, I agree with a lot of what you wrote in your response. Three strengths I noticed are the spacing you made between each statement, providing great advice to the situation, and how you encouraged striving to be the best version of yourself. I did not recognize any problems with your response. The only tip I would recommend is maybe providing more recommendations on how to stop feeling the concerns the person is experiencing.

compassionateIris91 August 2nd, 2022

@Fristo

3 Strengths:
-. You express not only empathy at the beginning but also positively reframe someone who feel is not enough about himself/herself.

- -.You provide a good deep empathy to what is inside and externally someone need .

- You provide a short but a key tip to them.


Tip:
I can't really think of any for your completed answer, if some one have a connection with you and mind that still healthy function , I trust they can benefit from your answer .

kindFish9215 August 16th, 2022

@Fristo

This was really well written! I really liked how your answer was straightforward and concise, providing tips and approaches that directly relates to the question above.

I also liked how you wrote this as if you are speaking directly to a particular person. In a way, it seems very personal and therefore very touching.

Furthermore, you seemed very empathetic with your answer, seeing that you are not only answering the question, you're also addressing the reader's feelings, thus strengthening the connection and meaning to your answer, leading to trust.

One thing you can improve on is to include more of the key words listed above. But overall, very well written!!

Angelzz127 April 13th, 2023

hi @Fristo! you have explained it really well.

3 strengths: the way you managed to express your view was clear and to point, you pointed out that you can't change how others think about you and lastly you stated that one thing that can be changed is our own view by self-reflection.

1 tip: you could have explained further ways to improve their self-worth and self-esteem.

Question: What to do when you feel you are not good enough for someone?

Provided Keywords: parents, partner, self-esteem, social media, self-worth, good news, best way, first step, human beings, children, therapy, self-love, family members, better person, good time, good luck, inner critic, self-doubt, negative self-talk, real reason, whole life, amazing person, self-confidence, voice, right thing, healthy relationship, great things, information, communication, end of the day

Answer: It is frustrating when one feel like they aren't enough for someone. However, each person has their own strengths, weaknesses and things that make them special. A healthy relationship should be one where everyone feels like they have space for growth and seen as the amazing person they are. Communication about your insecurities with those who love you may help you have a better look of yourself and your relationship. Developing self-worth is also very important, as it allows us to be patient and not have a negative image of ourselves created by the often harsh inner critic. At the end of the day, the one that will stick by you your whole life is you, so self-confidence will go a long way. Being kind to yourself may be hard at first, but it can lead to great things in your life. Good luck.

@FinleyTews Very nice use of words, and you made good use of the keywords. I especially benefited from reading the line- "A healthy relationship should be one where everyone feels like they have space for growth". Looking forward to read more from you.

FinleyTews January 25th, 2021

@Fristo Thank you for your sweet words, I really appreciate it as writing is kinda hard for me.

January 30th, 2021
.

@FinleyTews The underlining of the keywords also look pretty.

January 30th, 2021
.

@FinleyTews The writing labels the emotion (of frustration) in the first sentence itself, which I especially liked. As a suggestion, to further improve the writing, could more work be done to make the work more empathetic? Relating to the pain, feeling a step closer to the reader, and then reflecting back supportive words, is a helpful activity that guides me when I write.

blissart January 30th, 2021

@FinleyTews

Finley you empathized with the person who asked the questtion and that makes it feel connected. You were crisp in your answer and used keywords very well.

for a tip, could have used more keywords

SoulfullyAButterfly OP January 30th, 2021
.

@FinleyTews Excellent structure and flow! Good incorporation of keywords as well. The first sentence should read: feel(s) but that's ok, we all make mistakes - I would recommend using free tools like Grammarly just as a tip!

azureOwl6812 February 12th, 2021

@FinleyTews

Hi FinleyTews,
I would like to share a few of my insights from your answer :)
Three of the things I liked about it was that you used the keywords at the right places, and the last line was realistic and giving hope at the same time.
I also liked the line where you talked about everyone having their strengths and weaknesses.
One small suggestion I would have is that maybe you can make the writing a little more supportive,as if speaking to the other person with your answer, but otherwise the answer is great!

Good use of key words, flowed really well , very inspiring.

@FinleyTews

Really great job on using your active listening skills to demonstrate empathy in your response. I also like how you included actual tips to help the asker. Lastly, it seems like you've incorporated many provided keywords, great job on that!

One thing you can improve on: You can consider providing more tips/approaches to dealing with the situation.

sereneMango3007 April 26th, 2021
.

@FinleyTews

Your answer was professional and informational! I loved how you wove together keywords into a meaningful answer to the question. Something I'd suggest to make it even better is to write a little bit more about having insecurities and recognizing one's inner critic.
