OurHealthCircle – Online Support Community
http://ourhealthcircle.com/

OurHealthCircle is an online support community that enables anyone seeking support, advice and encouragement on a specific health or wellness topic to connect publicly or privately 24/7 with others who share the same objective. OurHealthCircle has nearly 750 (and growing) “support circles” run by and for anyone who wants to talk anonymously or personally about specific health and wellness topics, including cancer, diabetes, stress management, depression, alcohol abuse and prevention, parenting and much more. The virtual setting mirrors the real-world intimacy and connection of a group meeting by putting a “face” – either through a personal photo or anonymous avatar – to who’s participating in the discussion. OurHealthCircle was founded by a small team of graduate students at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, University of California at Berkeley.
