Ready to form a group, but not sure where to start? Our team has outlined all the info you need to create engaging and supportive communities around common health ideas.
đ¸Â What are groups?
Groups are an all-in-one space to bring people together around common health challenge(s) and/or areas of interest, in an ecosystem all focused on health. Goodself is perfect for those who are looking to build a stronger sense of connection within their audiences and want to take their interactions to the next level.
- Bring your community to a space where you can host talks, post content, run challenges, and promote your courses/products with organized links, all within one space! These features will provide all the tools you need to foster a strong and supportive community.
- Groups can be on any range of topics from âSingle Parent Supportsâ to âWeight-Loss Communityâ even âSleepâ âĄď¸ see our sample groups page for inspiration.
đĄď¸Â Why are groups on Goodself different?
While other platforms weren't made to foster a community around health & wellness, at Goodself,we created a platform with our communities, rather than just for them. The functionality and design of our groups are based on User and Expert advice on the pain points they've had when trying to form a group elsewhere.
Here are a few things that set apart Goodself groups:
- Larger networks are filled with noise and clutter, making it difficult to find the right content and people. Goodself isn't everything for everyone, and health groups arenât related to non-relevant interests. To take it one step further, on Goodself all accounts are linked to a real phone number and real people - weâre promoting authentic interactions.
- Groups are not linked to your personal profile, making it more private experience than the average social media group!
- On other platforms, groups exist in isolation and it can be hard for new users to discover you and your content. On Goodself, groups exist to ensure you can reach the right community of people!
- To encourage deeper engagement and enhanced connectivity within the community, Users can ask questions and start discussion threads within groups (rather than only through private DMs). This allows other Users and Experts to directly involved in the conversation!
- Goodself is focused on reducing misinformation, it is our goal to ensure content on all areas of the platform is not only relevant but accurate (more). In their groups, Users can feel confident in the credibility of the information and content they are seeing!
â¨Â Why form a group?

đťWhy create a group as an Expert?
Expert-led Goodself groups encourage the growth of communities by providing a dedicated space for Users who are looking to connect with others who share similar interests and/or who may be facing similar challenges on their health journeys!
- By creating a group, Experts can broaden their reach and connect with their user base to share their valuable insights with a wider audience. The customizable feed feature allows Experts to highlight content such as photos, talks, and videos, which matter most to their support group.
