Family Wealth & Wellbeing

# Editorial policy

How we use sources, distinguish educational guidance from clinical advice, and maintain clear editorial standards.

This policy explains how Family Wealth & Wellbeing presents educational information, uses sources and distinguishes practical discussion from individual clinical advice.

## How content is prepared

Our content is prepared with AI assistance and links to sources supporting specific factual statements. Discussion prompts help readers identify questions to explore; they are not a substitute for an assessment by a qualified professional.

## Evidence and source labeling

Clinical factual statements are linked to relevant sources, with preference for public health agencies, established clinical organizations and primary material. Provider descriptions use the provider's own materials and are identified as such. A source supports the specific statement marked, not every interpretation in an article.

Practical exercises, suggested wording and hypothetical scenarios are editorial tools. They are not validated questionnaires, diagnostic instruments or a tested treatment protocol. The site does not estimate how common a problem is among wealthy families unless an appropriately representative source supports that exact claim.

## Clinical information and credentials

Health information is educational and cannot establish a diagnosis or treatment plan for an individual. Clinical decisions belong with appropriately qualified professionals. Any professional credentials or medical-review attribution displayed on the website must describe work actually completed; a source-check date is not a medical-review claim.

## Respectful language and individual agency

The publication should not diagnose a person from wealth, a family role or a second-hand account. It distinguishes narcissistic traits from a personality disorder, financial disagreements from coercion, and difficult experiences from a clinical trauma diagnosis.

Care content should present assessment and appropriate levels of support, not assume residential treatment is always needed. A payer's preferences should not be presented as a substitute for consent or qualified clinical judgment. Emergency information must remain easy to find.

## Provider information

Treatment descriptions identify the source of their information. The website does not invent comparative rankings, patient experiences or treatment success rates. Readers should confirm clinical suitability, current services and contractual terms directly with the provider.

## Updates and corrections

Source-check dates identify when supporting material was consulted. Time-sensitive information, including crisis contacts and provider services, can change. Dates should reflect substantive checks rather than an automatic refresh. The [contact page](https://familywealthwellbeing.org/contact/) explains the available contact routes.

Reports concerning immediate safety should be directed to appropriate emergency or specialist services, not a publication enquiry.
