not taking chats at this time. 







Hello, my name is Courage! 
I am currently taking chats on spirituality, parenting, domestic violence, and family stress, but I also take chats on anxiety, loneliness, self- esteem, and general mental health. I look forward to getting to know you! I do not take chats on sexual health.

Glen's Legacy and What we Can Learn From His Example!

...See more http://youtu.be/QNlEqYjL-0A [http://youtu.be/QNlEqYjL-0A%C2%A0] Hey everyone! For those of you who haven't seen yet, @glenM who is the founder and ceo of 7 Cups has recently delivered a speech titled Creating Pathways To Better Mental Health in an Americares conference. For me, it really put into perspective a lot of things that have been going on lately here onsite, as well as offsite. Watching his speech, I was able to get a better understanding of the kind of man Glen is. When faced with a problem he was able to turn to his spouse and get the compassion and support that he needed. After pondering on the experience later, he thought about how beneficial a simple listening ear was for him, and how helpful it was for him. He wished that every person- regardless of language, country, or financial situation would be able to access that support. After thinking further on the topic, the basic idea of the 7 Cups we know today started forming. Glen would then spend the next seven or so years building the community that so many of us all around the world now call home. It takes a special kind of person to be faced with a problem and be supported on that- and one of the first thoughts after the matter is: how can I make it possible for everyone to be able to access the same support I have available to me? This simple selfless epiphany is what jump started the community that has now grown to reach 40 million people. That is absolutely incredible! 40 million people helped, 340 thousand listeners, 189 countries, 140 languages. The significance of that data is so often understated. The kind of person who is faced with a problem, whose first response is how can I help other people who are not as fortunate as me to have support in place and then actually goes out and makes the connections, gathers the funding and carries out the vision of reaching every person on Earth is an incredible person and deserves way more credit then he is given. I would like to extend a thank you to @GlenM for all of the work he has put into this site. I know I am not alone in saying that if it were not for this site, I don't know where I would be. But one thing I do know is that I would certainly loose a large part of me if I lost this community. I have grown to befriend many people on this site, and have been able to gain experience and knowledge that I know I would not have been able to gain anywhere else. 7 Cups is truly a place like no other. Glen and his partners in business have put in the work and persevered through the many obstacles they have been faced with, but now the torch has been passed onto us; all of us. If we are to make this work, we have to apply the same principles that Glen showed when he started 7 Cups. Empathy, compassion, kindness, selflessness, hard work, dedication, perseverance, problem solving, team work, learning from past mistakes, moving forward. Without these things, we are nothing. Without those things, Cups never would have survived the first year of launch. It is so easy to fall into the trap of false security that we are no longer at risk of failure, especially considering we have helped 40 million people, have 340 thousand listeners, and are in 189 countries listening in 140 different languages. That sounds like a pretty secure community to me, and Im sure it does to many of you as well. But 7 Cups has only survived for so long because of the principles that have been applied to this site since the launch back in August 2013. If we start to lose those principles and core values, we lose this site. It pains me to say this but the truth of it can no longer be hidden, nor denied. 7 Cups is losing the core values that Glen built the very backbone of this site on. We have users taking advantage of the beautiful community we have created who take advantage of vulnerable people and work to exploit them. We have individuals who are taking advantage of the people who have come to our site seeking refuge from the negativity of the world we live in today. They are working to infiltrate the safe haven we have built with the very negativity the members of our community have come here to escape. We also have listeners who use their position of authority to bully and harass other listeners. These problems are for the most part unavoidable. There will always be individuals who will work to tear down what others have worked so hard building up. But just like when Glen was faced with the problem of a shortage of volunteers, he communicated and worked together with the community to gather ideas on how best to tackle this problem. And look where we are now! We now have 340 thousand listeners. We can apply communication and working together with the community to solve the problems the site faces today. Just like when Glen struggled to find the finds to keep 7 Cups running, he again turned to the community to find solutions. He communicated with the volunteers and took into consideration their feedback. Because of this, we are now able to afford a staff of 33 (and growing) who work diligently each day to better our community. We can learn many things from the history that we share. - Feedback, communication, and putting into practice the feedback of the community is necessary to keep Cups running. - Working together is necessary to keep Cups running. Not against each other. - Teamwork is key in a community as large and diverse as ours. Glen is such an amazing role model, someone we should all strive to be more like. The empathy to understanding other people's perspective and struggles, the humility needed to ask the community for help, the dedication, perseverance and hard work to keep 7 Cups running, the intelligence to know that the listeners who volunteer their time each and every day are the ones who see 7 cups at a perspective that is vitally needed. The bravery to admit mistakes and learn from them. @Laura @Zammn @Heather225 @blaze @MayaRoseBird5656 @KarrotCake @jill7cups @Yendi @kanga @River @samar27 @power @arwaS @asthebeesays @blaze @7Cupscommunity @MusicalMagic
