Terms of Use

What THRIVE is

THRIVE is a free educational website about healthy aging. It brings together general information, self-check tools, and links to trusted organisations across six areas of wellness. It is offered for personal reflection and learning.

Not medical advice

The content on this site, including every self-check and its feedback, is general information and is not medical advice. It does not diagnose any condition and is not a substitute for the judgement of your doctor, pharmacist, nurse, or other qualified health professional. Always speak with a professional before changing your activity, diet, medicines, or vaccinations, and seek prompt care for any health concern. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in Canada at any time, or call emergency services.

The self-check tools

The self-checks adapt published, validated questionnaires for reflection. A result places your answers in a broad range; it is not a clinical score and should not be read as one. The scales themselves remain the work of their authors, and each is named and linked at the foot of the relevant tool so you can consult the source.

Links to other sites

This site links to external organisations for your convenience. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. A link is not an endorsement, and visiting a linked site is at your own discretion.

Use of the site

You may read, share, and use this site for your own non-commercial, personal, and educational purposes. Please do not misuse the site, attempt to disrupt it, or use it in any way that is unlawful or that could harm others.

No warranty

The site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We work to keep the information accurate and current, but we make no guarantees that it is complete, error-free, or suitable for your particular situation, and the site may change or be unavailable at times.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, the creators of THRIVE are not liable for any loss or harm arising from your use of, or reliance on, this site or any linked resource. Your health decisions remain between you and your own care providers.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and continued use of the site means you accept the current version.
