Share a message without exposing your group

A low-data checklist for WhatsApp administrators and Digital Advocates.

No form submission or account. Use a separate private note if you want to write answers.

A Digital Advocate contributes access to a trusted communication space. That does not give an organiser permission to access the group's membership, private replies or personal stories. Use this checklist before sharing a Mental Wealth Hour message in a WhatsApp group, association channel or community page.

Check the message

  1. Useful: Can a reader use the prompt without buying anything or joining another group?
  2. Relevant: Does it fit this group's purpose, language and current context?
  3. Accurate: Are names, dates, contacts and links correct? Remove claims that cannot be supported.
  4. Manageable: Is there one clear next action? Prefer concise text and optional media so data cost does not exclude people.
  5. Safe to answer: Does the message avoid asking for diagnoses, trauma histories or information about another person?
  6. Transparent: If it leads to a service enquiry, is that clear? A useful prompt should not conceal a sales step.

Use an administrator's introduction

“With the group's purpose in mind, here is a short Mental Wealth Hour prompt. Use it privately or discuss the general question if you wish. Participation is optional. Please avoid posting personal or identifying information about anyone. The linked page explains any further options.”

Keep reporting proportionate

Record the date, channel type and message topic. If a campaign asks for a reach estimate, label it as an estimate and explain its basis. Group membership is not the same as the number who read a post. A link click is not a conversation or service received.

Do not forward private replies, names, telephone numbers or screenshots containing member details to demonstrate activity. If reporting is agreed, use a simple summary that does not identify participants. Obtain separate permission before sharing a story or image.

Close the loop

Note whether the message was suitable, what practical questions arose and whether another message would be welcome. Planning line: group permission _____; topic _____; link checked _____; posting date _____; reporting agreed _____. Being an advocate means sharing responsibly; it does not make you a clinician or commit you to answering every personal concern.
