Need to talk to someone?

⌚ Availability  August 19th, 2026 & Onward: I'm prioritizing my own mental health and family obligations, so my availability will be inconsistent these days; however, I'm happy to say that I'm accepting new member chats for the time being and will also continue supporting current long term members. 🔓 Should I be available, expect us to talk for around an hour via live chats. Otherwise, expect a response from me within the same week and willingness to schedule a time that works for the both of us. We can also message intermittently through offline messaging. Your best bet to get a hold of me is reaching out on Sunday Afternoons (EST) or rather what I hope to make them - Service Sundays ✨ * Green circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am available to welcome new member chats and to follow up anyone who I have already spoken with.  * Orange circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I'm occupied giving my undivided attention to someone in a member chat or am focusing on other tasks. I may not be able to have 1-on-1 chats at that time but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats. * Red circles adjacent to my profile indicate that I am unavailable to take on new member chats but am open to coordinating dates and times for future chats.  Please refer to my "Categories" section for a list of topics I'm available to discuss with members as well as ones that I'm personally familiar with, marked with stars. If you decide to reach out, please detail in your initial messages the topic you'd like support with and how you'd like to be supported. ✅ ------------------------- 🔊 Listening Style Brad here! (he/him) 👋 If you're reading this, it's nice to e-meet you! My goal is to be a supportive pillar for you through formal conversations or through casual conversations. Formal conversations prioritize emotional support and active listening while casual conversations are more open ended. Regardless of what you need, you can count on me to keep our conversations confidential, judgment-free and positive.  Friendly Reminders  * Times might be tough, but together, we can prove that we're tougher 💪 * I hear you and I'm here for you 🫂 * This is a safe space and a familiar place 😌 * I'm not a mental health expert, but that doesn't stop me from being professional ⭐ ------------------------- 📘 Day in the Life  On 7 Cups, you can find me most active on Sundays supporting members in 1-on-1 chats as a listener and occasionally actively commenting in the group chats and on forum posts.    Outside of 7 Cups, you can find me failing to understand why I keep losing the majority of chess matches to my little brother, practicing self-care by working on jigsaw puzzles, and winding down for the day with a good book. 🙏 My biggest challenge with hobbies and interests is finding the time to engage with them all because they are JUST. SO. MANY! Wanting to get back into running, wanting to play the piano, listening to a wide variety of music and watching a suspenseful show are just a few of those many.   ------------------------- 📄 Personal Statement  My goal is to pay it forward: There's a positive cycle and relationship between listeners and members where both benefit from supportive conversations. Members rely on support from listeners to overcome challenges and listeners rely on members to develop a greater sense of self worth and make a difference. We all have a part to play in making the world a better place for ourselves as both individuals and as a community. By pledging to pay it forward and remembering how much I appreciate what I've gotten from 7 Cups, I hope to inspire others to pay it forward as well and to continue the positive cycle. To develop as a listener, I've undergone verification, graduated from the Quality Listening Program, completed the internship program on 7 Cups and will consult more training to continue learning and growing.  Listening to you,  This is Brad 😇 ------------------------- 📨 Resources for Members 7 Cups Welcome Pack: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CL9Yu_6zixlapOjdrhCgKLy9JN5wY3HWdrGH7PIO2WI/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p2ah3g8frtbm  7 Cups Basics: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M53Nm5-pbtxx2_jKfXYgYzo3NgXxjNfMwfzVSRC1rZg/edit?tab=t.0  Crisis Resources:  https://www.7cups.com/crisis/      https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026242213-Non-Crisis-Suicidal-Thoughts      Depression:  https://www.7cups.com/forum/depression/ResourcesforDepression_214/DepressionSupportResourcesMasterpost_251542/   On Narcissism & Manipulation:  https://abusewarrior.com/mental-health/manipulation-tactics/  -------------------------

Hi, I'm Bram :) I'm currently doing social work, and if I have the time, I also do some listening and chatting on here. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like, the door is always open and you're always welcome. And I do always reply, but sometimes it does require some patience. I do my best to be kind, patient, understanding, and to not judge anyone. Life gets hard and complicated for us all sometimes, but with some help and compassion we will get through it <3 (Thanks for all the incredibly kind reviews, they really make me feel appreciated and put a smile on my face) 

Your go-to for deep, real talks. I listen, vibe, and get where you're coming from, no judgment, just understanding. 

Hello! <3 I’ve always wanted to help others, especially those who may be struggling emotionally or mentally. My interest comes from both my personal experiences with mental health challenges. I hope to provide a supportive, understanding, and safe space for anyone who needs it.

I feel deeply, overthink sometimes, and notice the little things others might miss. I love meaningful conversations, gentle souls, genuine connections, and people who make it easy to be myself.I believe there's always a story behind the way someone acts, and I try to understand rather than judge. I value honesty, loyalty, kindness, and emotional connection. I think sometimes people don't need advice or solutions; they need someone who listens and reminds them that they're not alone. I'm still learning about myself and life, figuring things out one day at a time. I have my own complicated thoughts and feelings, but I also believe there's beauty in being human, in growing through experiences, and in finding little reasons to smile. If you're here and need someone to listen, you don't have to pretend to be okay with me. 💗

wtever it is we can sort it out together :) just dnt lose hope

I don’t just listen — I stand with you. In a world that tries to silence pain, I choose to hear it, fight it, and help you rise — because every voice deserves to be heard, and every struggle deserves a fighter.
