Talk:Mental Health Resource Center

Do you have a resource to suggest for the Mental Health Resource Center?

Thank you for working to increase the coverage and support of the Mental Health Resource Center. If you have a resource to suggest, please email cawikimedia.org. Please do not add the resource directly to this list yourself. The Wikimedia Foundation Trust and Safety team will maintain the pages and will do a quarterly review of the content. During the quarterly review, the staff will review any recommended additions from the community for the Mental Health Resource Center. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 22:54, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Here is the checklist the Trust and Safety team will use to review resources for the Mental Health Resource Center. This checklist is meant to help you evaluate whether a mental health resource you want to add to this list is a good and reliable fit. If you find resources that are already on the page do not meet the criteria below, please flag them on the talk page. Thank you for your collaboration!

----

Mandatory criteria:

• The resource comes from a reliable source (also see Reliable Sources Checklist)
• The resource fits the scope and purpose of this page and its subcategories
• The resource is made by or in collaboration with mental health professionals
• The resource is permanent and up-to-date (expected to be accessible and useful in the future)
• The resource provider, its mission and organizational history does not conflict with the Wikimedia Foundation’s shared values

(Does the resource provider operate independently without the imposition of a political agenda?)

Nice to have criteria:

• The resource is multilingual/in a language that is underrepresented on this page so far
• The resource is useful for an online movement and its members

Please reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 00:25, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Poor contrast

Depending on the user's css-setting of the background color of the section headers, the white header texts may be poorly readable. For example, instead of black on light green, one gets the poor contrast of white on light green. - Patrick (talk) 07:34, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

This example applies for the css-code

h2 {color:black; background: #c0ffc0; !important}

The code on this page changes the text color from black to white, but does not change the light green background color. - Patrick (talk) 09:08, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, Patrick! I'm completing the first quarterly review of comments. I want to note I have seen your comment. I might need to ask for help on this from some folks I know since this is a little outside of my knowledge, but I will look into correcting this.

Uncertainty about voice of speaker

This is a Wikimedia Foundation-organized pilot project. That is fine, but Meta-Wiki is mostly a place for Wikimedia community members to interact with each other and the public.

I propose that this page take a notice which says that the Wikimedia Foundation presents and maintains this list, and that there has not been Wikimedia community consensus or organization to put this together and give it a perspective.

The Wikimedia community typically does not tolerate presenting resources which do not meet the community's standard of quality, and I do not think wiki community organizations which were free to evaluate this would give it a pass. It seems like more of a disclaimer against liability or a list of resources which we wished that we had, than it is a list of resources which meet our particular needs. I would not want anyone to look at this and think that it sufficiently addresses the problems that we have in addressing mental health issue. I would rather communicate how difficult this challenge is, and say that we have not arrived at a solution, and to present community views and documentation of why this challenge is so difficult to resolve.

No objections to putting that this page is primarily maintained by staff up in the banner - any special feedback about that @JKoerner (WMF): ? — xaosflux ^Talk 18:25, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi all, @Xaosflux Thanks for the ping! I reviewed the suggestions and I'll be sure to bring this information to the Trust and Safety manager. I'll chat with her next week about it. Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 19:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey there @Xaosflux, I spoke with the manager over the team who maintains this page. As it's mostly Trust and Safety folks who work on the pages, she feels a banner saying the Trust & Safety team maintains it works great. Thanks for the suggestion. Is there anything more you need from my side? Best, JKoerner (WMF) (talk) 22:45, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Nope thanks! @Bluerasberry got a specific edit suggestion? — xaosflux ^Talk 22:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Just direct anyone with questions or who wants support to the Wikimedia Trust and Safety. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)
