As a mental health provider and content creator, your ethics are very, very important

So what are the ethical considerations to think about when you're writing mental health copy? There's a lot, and a lot of it you already know because you operate this way in your practice. Do no harm. Don't give false promises. Cite your sources. Be mindful of the can of worms you open for your readers. If you're talking about incredibly sensitive topics like suicide, make sure that you include links to suicide hotlines. Tell them to call 911 if they need to. Be thoughtful. And I'm going to tell you this, you already do this. Be who you are in your therapy practice. In your content. And remember, you have no way of knowing what someone will do with what they read on the other side of it, so err on the side of caution. Always give hotline numbers, always give people 911 if they need it, even if you just suspect it might be something that someone might need. There's no harm in including it. There's only harm if you leave it out.
