A Refresher On Rule 4 in GS (About Being Overwhelmed in GS setting)

Hi all! Wow it's certainly been crazy for me lately. I recently celebrated a birthday and got to travel home to see family so I haven't been around much. Happy to say now I am back and posts will continue as normal. I will also be rolling out a discussion series this weekend for both adults and teens , starting with Rule 1! Please let me know in the replies of this thread what times work best for you. So without further ado, lets continue!

The rule we will be discussing today is..

Rule 4: If feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or do not feel the present environment is aiding in your personal healing, please visit our Browse Listeners page to connect with a Listener one-on-one.

So... What exactly does this mean?

Essentially we at 7cups we want to do everything we can to support our fellow members, but sometimes for that to happen mods must enforce boundaries with those in the rooms so it can remain a safe space for all, Not only that but it's important to remember the structure of the rooms, for example..

TCR/MCR- This room is meant for lighthearted chat only, If a mod notices that you are using TCR for support purposes they might politely ask you to visit a support room or connect 1/1 with a listener.

Support Room and Topic Based Support Rooms: These rooms are support based, which means you are welcome to vent about how you are feeling there. Please try to avoid any triggering language or dialogue, If you are expressing that the support environment is not contributing positively to your mental health you may be gently prompted to seek help in a 1/1 chat with a listener.

Thank you for joining us! See you soon.
