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/  -------------------------

Hello <3 I am here to listen or talk when available.

I love helping people

Welcome. I am here to offer an open mind and a safe, non-judgmental space for you to speak freely. Whatever you are carrying today, you do not have to hold it entirely alone. I am here to listen whenever you are ready.

Hello there! My name is Niko. I am a high school student that is entering my senior year. I try to keep myself occupied by participating in sports activities, being involved in various organizations, working, and hanging out with family and friends. I like meeting new people and engaging in meaningful dialogue with them. I consider myself to be a person that is responsible and ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

Hey, there! 👋☺️ I'm so glad you've made one of the biggest (and sometimes the most difficult) decisions when in times of trouble: reaching out for help! It takes a great deal of self-awareness and strength to recognize when you can't go through something alone. I know it used to be for me! Day-to-day, I work as a care manager for people dealing with mental health, substance use, and housing struggles. I work at a peer-run agency as a Certified Peer Specialist, also! My day job brings such meaning and purpose to my life. That said, I like to be here to lend an ear to whoever I can. In my experience, I've found anonymity can be helpful in really allowing people to connect in the most fundamental ways, free from assumptions and judgement. I'm here to ensure whatever you share falls on open, compassionate ears! Let's work through this together! 🤗🤗🤗

🥀 I do my best to be present in the chat with you and respond in a way that feels caring. We can just sit together with the feelings that you're having, and focus on helping you know that you're not carrying them alone. I'm available for casual chats and long term support. I strongly believe that a trusting connection can create space for positive healthy growth, and I would be honored to be someone you can talk to and lean on along the way.   🥀 ------------------------- Honored to wear the Tulip Badge Formerly an Adult-Teen Listener Proud to have earned Verified Listener status Former member of the listener Peer Support group  Former member of the Anonymous Evaluations team Grateful to have graduated the Quality Listening Program - with honors ------------------------- 🫂 Thank you for stopping by my profile, I'm proud of your courage to seek out support, please take a hug with you before you leave 🫂
