Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Experience Share content taps into the power of storytelling, which is proven to drive empathy, connection, and engagement in online communities. When members share personal health journeys or challenges, it normalizes diverse experiences, making others feel less alone and more understood.
This approach fosters a supportive atmosphere where members are more likely to participate, offer advice, and build authentic relationships. Reflective prompts also encourage self-awareness, helping members articulate their own paths and learn from others' perspectives. The result is a stronger, more active community with lasting bonds.

Post these templates as prompts in your forums, group chats, or social feeds to invite members to share their own experiences. Adjust the guiding question to fit current themes or topics relevant to your health community. Reply to members' stories to acknowledge their vulnerability and encourage further discussion. Rotate prompts regularly to keep conversations fresh and inclusive.
For all platforms, schedule Experience Share prompts during active hours and pin or highlight posts to increase visibility. Use polls or reactions to lower the barrier for participation. Consider using images or simple graphics to make prompts stand out in feeds.
When crafting Share Your Experience prompts for health communities, use general language that encourages members to share as much or as little as they feel comfortable. Avoid asking for detailed personal identifiers (like exact diagnoses or medication names) unless members volunteer that information. Include reminders about privacy in your post (e.g., 'Only share what you feel comfortable disclosing'). Consider providing anonymized response options or encouraging the use of pseudonyms for added safety.
Focus your template prompts on open-ended experiences rather than medical advice. For example, ask, 'What’s one thing you wish you knew when you were first diagnosed with [condition]?' or 'Describe a small win you’ve had this month managing your symptoms.' This invites sharing of lived experience and emotional journeys, fostering support rather than clinical discussion.
Adapt the templates to ask about real-world healthcare navigation, such as: 'Share your experience finding a specialist for your condition,' or 'What tips do you have for dealing with insurance challenges?' These topics are highly relevant in health communities and empower members to help each other with practical, system-based advice.
Establish clear community guidelines emphasizing that posts are for sharing personal experiences, not providing medical advice. Actively moderate threads and remind members that individual experiences may not apply universally. If a reply contains inaccurate or unsafe advice (e.g., recommending unapproved treatments), address it promptly—either by commenting with a correction, removing the post, or following your platform’s moderation protocols.
Yes, but extra care is needed. Mental health topics can be deeply personal and triggering. Use language that is validating and sensitive, such as 'Share a coping strategy that’s helped you manage anxiety,' or 'Describe a supportive moment during a tough time.' Always include crisis resources in posts and remind members that sharing is optional.
Design your templates with gentle, low-pressure prompts, such as 'What’s one question you had when you were first diagnosed?' or 'How did you feel during your first appointment?' Providing anonymous posting options and spotlighting positive, encouraging community responses can help new members feel safer and more supported as they engage.
