Big Blessings for Mental Health
Mental Health is a subject that just isn't discussed enough. A lot of people feel uncomfortable talking about it. Sometimes they don't understand it, but they're too embarrassed to ask questions.
That's why the Mental Health sub-topic is so important on Squidoo. I'm truly amazed at the number of lensmasters willing to open up about their struggles with mental health. Some offer an inside look at whatever mental illness they suffer from. Others offer coping mechanisms. Some talk about what they're doing to conquer their mental illness. And yet others offer ideas on how to help others in their time of need.
What I've noticed is that almost all the lenses in the Mental Health subtopic have one thing in common. They are all designed to help people one way or another. That's why I was so honored when I was chose to be the Mental Health Angel.
Have you made a lens in the Mental Health category?
What I look for
When looking for Mental Health lenses to bless, I look for two things.- Information: Helpful information is the number one thing I look for. If you can write something unique that will help your readers, I usually think it's worth a blessing. If you can offer insight into a little know subject, I usually think it's worth a blessing.
- Personal Stories: A personal story makes any lens better. I know when I read a personal story, it helps me to better identify with the rest of the lens content.
What I won't bless
Obviously I won't bless anything that's plagiarized (and I do check).
I also won't bless anything that reads like a Wikipedia article (meaning I can go to Wikipedia and get the exact same information because all you did was reword a wiki).
And I think it goes without saying that I won't bless anything against TOS.
I also won't bless a lens if it has empty modules, irrelevant links to outside websites, or products that just don't fit with the lens subject.
An example of a great Mental Health lens
Comfortdoc writes a lot in the Mental Health topic. When I decided to pick a lens as an example, the hardest part was choosing which one of hers to feature.
This lens has everything any lens on Squidoo could want. It's chock-full of unique and helpful information. It has plenty of links to other helpful lenses on the same topic. It offers many outside links that are relevant to the topic. And the Amazon products are right in line with the subject of the lens.

- I love how you have talked about meditation and mental illness. I talked about that in my lens as it has helped me tremendously...I'm a former psychiatry resident with bipolar disorder and PTSD and not about just medications for treatment. Thank you for a great lens.

- I am relatively new but I have made a conscious effort to create quality lens because when I research and write I want to be identified as producing quality lens.
