Affiliate and referral disclosure

Last updated: 25 May 2026

The short version

Some of the support options and products we recommend may be paid links, which means ADHD Reflect could earn a small fee if you choose to use them. We will always label these clearly. We will never put a paid link ahead of a free, official or crisis service. We do not let referral fees decide which content we write or which support we recommend.

If you ever feel like a paid link has been placed in a way that does not feel right, email hello@adhdreflect.com and we will look at it.

What counts as a paid link

A “paid link” on ADHD Reflect is any link where we may receive money, credit or another benefit if you click on it, sign up or buy something. This includes:

• affiliate links (we earn a commission if you sign up or buy);
• referral partnerships (a provider pays us a flat fee per signup);
• sponsored placements (a provider has paid for a position on a page, clearly marked);
• paid resources we have created and sell (such as digital workbooks or card packs).

A link is not a paid link if it goes to:

• a government website;
• a registered charity or non-profit;
• a national crisis line;
• a public service directory;
• a researcher’s site or publication;
• another piece of content on ADHD Reflect.

How we label paid links

Every paid link is labelled, in one of these ways:

• a small “Paid” tag next to the link;
• a short line below it (“ADHD Reflect may receive a fee if you sign up.”);
• the heading of the section it appears in (“Paid and referral options”).

Sponsored content is labelled as Sponsored at the top, even if it looks like an ordinary article.

If we ever publish an entire piece that has been paid for, we will say so plainly. We do not run undisclosed sponsored content.

Our rules for paid links

We use the following rules across the whole site:

1. Help first, monetise later. A paid link must never appear before a free, official or crisis resource on the same page or in the same flow.
2. Crisis pages are never monetised. No affiliate links, no referral links, no sponsored placements appear on crisis or safety pages, or in crisis cards.
3. Paid relationships do not decide what we write. We do not write a card or guide because a partner asked us to. We write what is useful, then look at whether a fair partner exists.
4. One option among several. We do not make a paid partner the default. Free, government, non-profit and ADHD-specific options always sit alongside or above commercial ones.
5. No pressure tactics. We do not use countdowns, “limited offers” or fake urgency in paid placements.
6. We can drop a partner at any time. If a provider’s practice changes, becomes aggressive, has a safety problem or starts targeting users in a way we do not agree with, we will remove them.
7. Sensitive data stays here. We do not pass anything you have told ADHD Reflect (your quiz answers, what you typed into the assistant, the cards you have read) to any paid partner. Affiliate tracking, where it exists at all, is at the click-only level.

We follow the same rules even when no one is checking.

Specific kinds of paid links

Online therapy platforms

Large online therapy platforms (such as BetterHelp-style services) may appear on our country support pages later. If they do, they will:

• never be the default support option;
• never appear before free crisis, official or non-profit resources;
• be clearly labelled as commercial services;
• only be included after we have reviewed their privacy practices, country availability and reputation;
• be presented as one option among several.

We will not include any service that has unresolved safety, privacy or sales-practice concerns at the time we are looking at it.

Coaching, courses and books

Some of these may be linked from our deeper guides or recommended resources. If a link is paid, we label it. If a coach, course or book is recommended without a paid link, that is because we genuinely think it is useful, not because we are paid to say so.

Our own paid products

If ADHD Reflect sells a digital workbook, card pack, course or paid subscription, that is a paid link too, but it is ours. The same rules apply: clear pricing, no fake urgency, easy refund process where appropriate, and no surprise charges.

Why we do this

A site about parents in difficult moments could very easily turn into an ad funnel. We are not interested in building that.

We want ADHD Reflect to feel like:

“I read a card. It helped me understand what just happened. If I needed more support, I could see where to find it, and I could trust the labelling.”

We do not want it to feel like:

“I told the site I yelled at my child, and now it is targeting me with therapy ads.”

That is the line. If we ever cross it accidentally, please tell us.

Questions or concerns

If you think a paid link is in the wrong place, missing a label, or recommending a service that is not safe for parents, please email hello@adhdreflect.com. We will look at it and update the page if needed.
