Building Greater Transparency
Today's review process focuses on bringing together diverse reviewers and using their feedback to strengthen content.
Over the coming months, we plan to expand transparency by:
Publishing review summaries
Highlighting content updated based on reviewer feedback
Tracking review activity across the platform
Providing greater visibility into how resources are maintained and improved over time
Our goal is to make it easier for users to understand not only what content is available, but how it is evaluated, updated, and maintained.
Why We Do It
The Well includes resources created by youth, educators, healthcare professionals, psychologists, community organizations, and health experts.
Our goal is not simply to publish content.
Our goal is to ensure content remains useful, understandable, relevant, and trusted by the people it was created to serve.
