Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)
Welcome to the official forum thread for the Social Soldiers! Im glad youre here; youre amazing, and Im glad youre part of the community.
Introduction
The Social Soldiers project was created with the intent on eliminating the stigma that comes along with mental illness on social media, guiding those who are depressed/having a hard time/need someone to talk to right here to 7CupsOfTea. As Laura explained in her lovely thread right here, we need to be here for people who may feel as though they have no other place to turn.
What are Social Soldiers?
Social Soldiers are people that use 7Cups-designated social media to guide people in the right direction, hopefully leading them to the site where they can talk to someone who truly cares. They use the handles Twitter, Reddit and/or Tumblr, and check the tags for depression, or self harm, or anything along those lines.
Who can be a Social Soldier?
Anyone! Thats the beauty of this project; literally anyone can get involved with it.
What isnt a Social Soldier?
Sharing your own personal social media with other members/listeners.
Someone that shares their personal social media in this thread.
Just to debunk a question that may be asked, you can totally share your referral link on your personal social media handles, however we do ask that you dont share your personal social media handle here. If you have a big following on Twitter, and youd rather use your personal account to spread the word, thats totally okay, just do not share with other members/listeners your personal account. If you have any questions on this, feel free to PM me.

7 cups love <3
7 cups is an amazing and welcoming community, you can talk to anyone about anything on here. :)
@SmallAxel true! That's what I love about 7 cups; it's such a positive community, and there's so much love!
7 Cups is a great way to lend an ear and be heard. If there's anything on your mind or anything to get off your chest, this is the right place for you.
Got a problem, worry or do you just want to talk? Come to seven cups and talk to our trained listeners and incredible therapists.
Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Recognizing that u need help, and requesting it, is a lot harder than ignoring the problem. The fact that u are even here, should make u proud of yourself.
7 Cups is a great place if anyone ever needs someone to just talk and listen to them! Just getting some things out of your system by telling them to another person can feel great :)
7 cups is a wonderful community of great listeners and I have often shared this information on FB in the hope that those who may need a listening ear, feel able to reach out :)
7Cups is a great Mental Support Site...
With some really Kind Listeners and Members that motivates you, and make you see the courage to Fight even when its dark :3
7 cups is such a rewarding experience. I've only been here a week and already I feel so much more fulfilled
At 7 Cups, you're important. We understand what you're going through and would love to listen for as long as you need.
