How we write about mental health.

Our articles are researched and written by the Safe Healing editorial team, with help from AI tools. Each article names its author as “The Safe Healing editorial team”.

We write for adults in Pakistan who want clear, practical information. We use plain words, short sentences and a calm tone. We avoid fear, blame and labels that stigmatise.

Every statistic links to its primary source, and we check that source at the time of writing. We prefer the World Health Organization, national health bodies such as the NHS, NICE and NIMH, peer-reviewed research, and Pakistani government sources. We do not rely on commercial wellness blogs as a source on their own.

When research is limited or mixed, we say so. Sources are listed at the end of each article so you can read them yourself.

Crisis numbers are checked against official sources before we publish them. We only list services we could confirm are running. If a number stops working, please tell us and we will fix it.

Our intended standard is that every health article is reviewed by a licensed mental health professional. An article only says it is clinically reviewed when that review has actually happened.

Today, none of our articles have been clinically reviewed yet. When an article is reviewed, it will show the reviewer’s name, their credential and the date of the review.

Every article shows the date it was published. When we change an article in a meaningful way, we show the date it was updated.

Our articles and free self-tests are general information. They are not a diagnosis, and they are not a substitute for care from a qualified professional who knows your situation.

Safe Healing also runs a therapy service. Articles may link to it, but the information in an article does not depend on whether you use it. Our online therapy page is where we describe the service itself.
