How materials are reviewed

Each entry is organized using a consistent framework focused on:

Clinical Integrity & Evidence: Evidence-Informed entries are tied to established models commonly used in therapy (for example CBT, DBT, ACT, attachment, trauma-informed care). Exploratory entries, including memoirs and peer-led resources, cover useful insight or education that is less protocol-based and are not treated as clinical theory.

Inclusivity & Accessibility: Materials are reviewed for affirming language and clinical fit across diverse clients, with limits noted when access or audience is narrow.

Commercial Transparency: Paid placements are not allowed. We may include commercial tools or publisher content when they are clinically relevant. Visibility comes from clinical match, not payment.
