At point in our relationship where we turn to Wikipedia for almost everything that we don't think we know, it seems perfectly normal that wikiHow should cover awareness for health and care. Why then does it feel a little uncomfortable to see the above article? Clearly this is a space where people turn for advice, but in the current formal there is limited dimensions to the advice and no potential for emotion or support. Perhaps it is the level of finger pointing, and responsibility that comes with allegations and labels of becoming the victim or sufferer - and perhaps, that all too easily damage can be done with the best intentions at hand.
Where does the wikiHow generation go to find support? How is the way that information is presented affecting the way that it is absorbed. And finally in what way could wikiHow type platforms be enahnced to promote the understanding of mental well-being?
