Hi everyone
I am looking to build a website that offers help and guidance about overcoming all sorts of addictions. I want to provide personal experiences, testimonies from others, YouTube videos and TED Talks, a resources and recommended reading page and, yes, use adsense for revenue (I also plan on making YouTube videos so will have adsense on there too).
My main question is this - would it be legal for me to do this?
My concern is that I'm not a health professional. I'm not a therapist either. I'm basically not qualified in this area. However what I do want to do is create a site that can help others learn from my experiences and raise awareness of certain addictions which people underestimate.
My thinking is that if I create a disclaimer stating something like "This website is intended to share experiences and opinions of its creator. Whilst we hope you find it useful, you should seek professional help when it comes to addiction and not rely on the content of this site. This site does not take any responsibility for your health."
Can anyone please advise or point me at where I can be clear on how to cover myself, and whether I can even make the site to begin with?
