How Sober Group publishes content

Different material has different responsibilities

The editorial refresh dated October 31, 2026 introduces community-navigation guides and practical resource checklists. These pages are published by Sober Group and identify AI-assisted preparation. They do not carry a clinician-review badge or imply that an automated system has professional clinical credentials.

Community members speak for themselves. Imported news or reference items come from external publishers and should be read with their original source and date. Business pages describe website or technology enquiries; they are separate from treatment, counselling, and medical assessment.

What an editorial guide should provide

• A clear purpose and a useful next step.
• Links to original sources for factual health or service information.
• A real update date when the page is substantively changed.
• Accurate attribution without fabricated people, credentials, testimonials, or community statistics.
• A distinction between an organisation's own claims and independently checked information.

Changing a page's date without reviewing its substance is not an editorial update. Likewise, a source link is not a substitute for checking whether the surrounding claim is supported.

How automation is used

AI assistance was used to prepare and edit this set of guides and tools. The site also has an archive containing automated feed imports. Those are different activities: importing an article does not establish that a Sober Group clinician has reviewed it.

Source URLs, on-site destinations, and account-entry paths were checked during this refresh. No named clinical reviewer is credited for these guides. Clinical claims requiring expertise should not be presented as settled advice without appropriate evidence and accountable review.

How we handle material that is not ready for recommendation

Older pages with unsupported product or provider claims, placeholder text, or unreviewed clinical assertions may be retained as clearly marked archive entries and excluded from search. Unrelated feed material can also be kept accessible without being promoted as current editorial guidance. A change in search visibility is not a judgement about a member's personal worth or recovery experience.

Original contributions and useful discussions need individual consideration. The existence of an import feed or a particular topic label alone does not prove that every page in a forum should be removed.

Ownership and commercial relationships

Sober Group is part of the MyNew Technologies network. A link to another property in that network should be identified where the relationship matters to a reader. Sponsored material should be distinguishable from community participation and independently selected resources. Advertising does not certify a provider's clinical suitability.
