Guest Post Guidelines
To help us review your article quickly, please follow these guidelines:
Relevant to our niche
The content must fit our topics and be useful to our readers.
Informative, with real value
The article should help the reader understand something or take a practical next step.
Original content
Send your own work, not published anywhere else, in whole or in part.
Reliable sources
Support statistics, research findings and medical or factual claims with credible sources such as NIMH, CDC, the VA, WHO or peer-reviewed studies.
Minimum length
Articles should be at least 800 words. In-depth guides usually work best at 1,200+ words.
Clear writing
Use a logical structure, descriptive headings and short paragraphs. Write in plain language.
If you include images, you must have permission to use them and tell us how to credit them. Please do not send photos of real people in distress or of any person without their consent.
Safe messaging comes first. Because of the subject of this site, every article must follow safe messaging practices such as those described at Reporting on Suicide. In practice, this means:
- No details about suicide methods, locations or notes, and no graphic descriptions of any kind.
- No links to, descriptions of or references to graphic footage, including the video associated with Ronnie McNutt’s death.
- No sensational or glamorizing language. Say “died by suicide”, not “committed suicide”.
- Emphasize hope, recovery, coping strategies and where to get help. Include relevant crisis resources where appropriate.
- Personal stories must focus on getting through hard times and finding support, not on the details of a crisis.
All submissions are reviewed before publication. We may suggest changes or edit accepted articles for clarity, accuracy, sensitivity and readability. Submitting an article does not guarantee that it will be published. We typically reply within 5 business days.
