Today I was working on searching for quality blogs to add to our StriveWell communities. It started off slow, I realized that it's not easy to find good quality blogs. All of a sudden I found a few great blogs and they just lead me to their personal blogs links of really excellent blogs. I was about to call it a day so I checked my email for the last time before shutting down my computer. And I got an email from Dirk Hanson, a 56 yr old published science writer asking me to evaluate his blog which serves as a news outlet for developments in addiction medicine and drug policy. Guess what, I just found his blog on my own today, and already linked it to out substance abuse group. What is the odds of that happening within a 3 hour window. A wish to extend a warm welcome to Dirk for finding his way to StriveWell.

Welcome to StriveWell. We have built StriveWell for you. If you are new to the site and not sure where to go, you can follow the pointers below.

If you want to read and learn about a particular health group, you should checkout a list of groups. Once you have found the group that interests you, you should join the group. And yes, it is anonymous. Then StriveWell will customize a page called My StriveWell Groups. This is a resourceful page that constantly updates itself, this is where you would be able to learn about the particular health group. If you find some useful information(be it a blog/link/news) that you want to bookmark, you can mark it as favorite, and return to your My StriveWell Favorites. The next time you login, you will be directed to My Page directly.

Now that you have joined a group, you could create a blog. StriveWell blogs are different from typical blogs, we like to think about it as means of communicating about or organizing your health conditions. You can browse the blog introduction for ideas of using our blogs. We encourage you to create as many blogs as you see fit. Be creative! Use it as a tool that helps you instead of your everyday blog!

We appreciate any comments/feedback. You can send us email via contact us or leave comments in the guestbook besides the blog.
