You're invited: Meeting with Lara to Discussion Clinical Services at 7 Cups
Calling all current therapists on 7 Cups! You're invited!
We are very excited about the upcoming addition of clinical services at 7 Cups (learn more here). As a therapist and a listener, you may have questions about how these changes affect you...or, perhaps you want to know what opportunities may soon be available to you. And, we'd love to hear from you about your thoughts on this new venture, so that we can best meet the needs of the clinical community.
Join @Lara, the Director of Clinical Initiatives, for a conference call to discuss this update and get your questions answered!
Date: Friday, February 5
Time: 9:30am PST / 12:30 PM EST
Location: 7 Cups Conference Line (connect here)

Share your thoughts, ideas, and questions! If there is something you'd like to see addressed, please post it here and we'll do our best to discuss it on the call!
Thank you for the invite. I look forward to attending and learning more about these new changes...
I'm in! I will be there to learn more about the changes coming to our community 
One thing I would like to know more about is the various levels of certification that will be accepted for clinicians providing therapy through 7 Cups. For example - social worker, psychologist, counselor, etc.
If this could be addressed in the conference call, or here on this thread, I would appreciate it 
@Pat
Absolutely. We'll talk about it on the call. The quick answer is that any mental health provider can be included in the community. Only licensed providers, or those qualified to provide independent therapeutic services according to the regulations of your jurisdiction, will be included in the directory. I hope that makes sense...we'll discuss more!
@Lara
Yay! Can't wait.
When you mean licensed you mean those who have uni studies (bachelor level) finished or something more? That's one thing I'm also very interested in approaching on this call - if you are planning to differentiate in any way those with lots of experience with those who are just beginning their journey as psychotherapists/counselors etc.
I will be there as well!
@cristiana33
We'll talk about it! There are going to be a variety of ways to be involved as a therapist on 7 Cups...from those still in training to those who have been in the field for a long time.
Thank you for inviting me. I'm looking forward to joining you 
Are members able to join?
@SimonTheGr8 - Yes, I'm pretty sure. @laura, this is for the whole community, yes?
@SimonTheGr8
Members can join, though the content of the meeting is going to be really geared to therapists and soon-to-be therapists, so it may not be totally all relevant for members. If there is a lot of interest, we may also hold a similar meeting to field questions from members about these initiatives.
Looking forward to hearing more about this exciting project. :)
@Lara Hope I can manage the time. Is there any option to watch/hear from scratch later?
@LoveApple
We won't be recording this meeting, unfortunately, but there will likely be more in the future, and i am happy to speak one on one with you if you want more info.
@Lara okk, Thank You Lara
You are going great.
@Laura - will join as soon as i can after my friday call with @glenM
Lara, what about para counselors trained under pastoral counseling ? Some have undergone formal training and were awarded certificates and were involved in teen and family counseling . Are they considered counselors or social workers?
@faithlove1111
You are welcome to come to the meeting, if you can make it, and hear about the ways that para counselors may be able to get involved.
Will try my best @Lara
Thank you .
Thank you for this! I am really looking forward to learning more!! :)
Hope I can join this conference, as I always want to learn more about this.
thanks @Lara, @Laura and ALL
