Terms of use

Using HowToStop

HowToStop provides educational guides and planning resources about changing unwanted behaviours. You may read the site and use its tools for your own personal purposes, subject to applicable law.

Health information and personal decisions

The content does not establish a clinical relationship, diagnose a condition or replace an individual assessment. Medicine changes, withdrawal and other health decisions may require a qualified professional. Follow the guidance appropriate to your circumstances and location.

Do not use the site or its contact address for emergency care. If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or an appropriate urgent support service.

Sources, examples and outcomes

Examples and suggested scripts are educational illustrations. Outcomes vary, and a guide does not guarantee that a behaviour will stop or that a particular treatment is appropriate. External services set their own eligibility, fees and conditions.

Respectful and lawful use

Do not interfere with the site, attempt unauthorised access or use contact channels to send abusive, unlawful or misleading material. Do not submit private information about another person without appropriate authority.

Content and reuse

You may link to our pages and quote limited excerpts with appropriate attribution where permitted by law. Other reuse may require permission. Rights in linked third-party materials remain with their respective owners.

Privacy and analytics

Analytics and browser preference storage are described in the Privacy policy. Use the footer’s “Privacy choices” control to review your selection. The planner does not submit your answers to HowToStop.

Availability and corrections

Content and features may change. If you identify an error, use Corrections. These terms do not remove rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.
