01 / THE COMMUNITY
A conversation can take a question further.
Reading helps you find a question. Talking about it can open another line of enquiry. The Hub brings people and INNERSTANDIN's educational resources together in one place, with space to share what you are exploring and follow discussions that matter to you.
Share
Post a question, thought or discovery. Add an image or a resource to give the conversation context.
Connect
Find member profiles and approved practitioners, follow their posts and choose how to connect.
Explore
Bring articles, books, Body Map pages, research and available videos into a discussion.
02 / THE FEED
Start with a thought.
Keep the thread.
The latest feed is the starting point for the wider community. Follow a discussion, respond to someone else's idea, or add a resource that helps explain what you mean.
Posts & replies
Write a post, add an optional image or attach one INNERSTANDIN resource. Comment on posts and reply within a thread. You can edit or delete your own posts and comments.
Reactions
Use Like, Support or Insight to respond to a feed post. Open the comments when you want to add more.
Following & saved
Follow a member to find their posts in your Following feed. Save a post to return to it in Saved posts.
Stories
Share a short text update, with an optional image, that appears in the Hub for 24 hours. Stories can be reported or removed. Image links may remain accessible after expiry or deletion.
Notifications
In-app notifications show activity such as follows, reactions, comments and replies. Open an item to see the associated profile or discussion.

03 / KNOWLEDGE IN CONTEXT
Bring the evidence into the conversation.
The resource picker lets you deliberately attach an INNERSTANDIN article, book, Body Map page, research collection or published video to a post. Use it in the main feed or in a group discussion so others can follow the same material.
Search beyond the feed
Search members, approved practitioners with Hub profiles, feed posts, groups, topics and resources. Search does not include private messages or group discussions.
Shared video briefings
Published INNERSTANDIN videos shared to the main feed can show a preview and, where supported, play there. You can also open the full briefing.

04 / PEOPLE & CONNECTIONS
Make connections on your terms.
A community profile gives other members a way to see what interests you. Follow someone to keep up with their posts, send a friend request or start a one-to-one conversation.
Your profile
Choose a display name and optionally add a bio, interests, profile photo and cover image. Profile text is visible to signed-in Hub members. Do not include your email address.
Members & friends
Search profiles by name, interests or specialties. Send, accept, decline or cancel friend requests; manage your connections in the Friends view.
Messages
Visit a member profile to start a text-only conversation. A first message may become a request, which the recipient can accept or decline. Your Inbox, Requests and Sent views keep conversations organised.
Contact choices
Choose who can start a new conversation: all members, with non-friends using requests; friends only; or no one. Existing accepted conversations remain open. Mute or block members from their profiles and review these choices in Your controls.
Practitioner identity
Approved, active practitioners can appear with a practitioner badge. An eligible practitioner can choose to publish a separate professional page with details and selected resources. Qualifications on that page are self-reported.
Practitioner approval is based on the INNERSTANDIN listing, not a substitute for checking professional registration or suitability.
05 / GROUPS
A closer circle around a shared focus.
Discover or create a group, build a discussion around a subject and bring resources into the exchange. Each group has its own discussion, chat, events, polls and rules.
Public groups
Signed-in Hub members can see public group discussions. Join the group to contribute, use its chat and take part in activities.
Private groups
Names and descriptions are discoverable to signed-in members. Rules, discussions, activities and member lists are restricted to approved members. Request to join or accept an invitation.
Membership
Group owners and moderators can manage requests and invitations, review reports and moderate content. Owners can assign moderators. Group privacy is chosen when the group is created and cannot be changed afterwards.
Discussion & chat
Group members can post, attach a resource and reply in threads. Separate text-only group chat is available to active group members, even in public groups. Chat refreshes while open and does not send automatic notifications.

06 / EVENTS & POLLS
Gather around an idea.
Groups can organise a meeting, workshop or shared activity and see how members respond. Events live in their group, so return to the event for updates.
Events & RSVPs
Active group members can create an event with a title, date, local time, time zone, details and optional place information. Members can mark Going, Interested or Not going.
Online meetings
Organisers may add an HTTPS invitation link from another service. Join meeting opens that service in a new tab. INNERSTANDIN does not create or host calls; the external service controls access. Anyone who can see the link can share it.
Keep checking
Events do not send automatic invitations or notifications. Check the event itself for changes or cancellation.
Polls
Active members can create a question with two to eight options and vote for one. Votes can be changed while the poll is open; the poll can be ended by someone with permission to manage it.
07 / PRIVACY & MODERATION
Know who can see what.
Choose what you share deliberately. Your personal health notes are not added to posts, group activities or messages automatically.
Community visibility
Profile text, main-feed posts and Stories are visible to signed-in Hub members. Public group discussions are also visible to signed-in members.
Group boundaries
Private group rules, discussions, activities and member lists are for approved group members. Group chat is restricted to active members in both public and private groups.
Images & Stories
Uploaded images have public links anyone with the link can view. Files may remain accessible after a post or image is removed, or after a Story expires or is deleted. Do not upload sensitive images.
Reports & controls
Report posts, comments, profiles, Stories and applicable group content for review. Moderators can take action, and removed content or Story records may be retained for moderation. Mute or block members as needed.
Community discussion is educational and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or qualified clinical care. Keep sensitive personal and health details out of your posts, messages and images. Read the Privacy Policy.
