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.

A big hello to everyone here who turns to 7Cups for help! Life is a challenge we ought to take up and fight NO MATTER WHAT and I couldn't be more happy to be connected to this wonderful family that never ceases to help me in times of need. With the support and guidance of my lovely listeners here, I myself decided to become one about a year ago, and believe me, it's the most rewarding experience to help someone yourself. Bring a smile on someone's face or just be, talk, and lighten someone's mood.

Whatever it is that you are going through, know this, it gets better. (Not trying to be corny here - it's just a universal fact)

Things will change, and things WILL get better.

I always share posts on Twitter, on Facebook and Instagram and regularly join the compassion campaign. If I can raise awareness of this site and help one extra person, my mission will have been completed.
