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 is an awesome and positive social network that encourages the right idea. You are all truly beautiful and are helping many people in lots of different ways. Thank you for allowing us to help make this work, :)
So glad there's a site like this for people to escape good work guys
This site has helped me so I'll try and help it
This site has given hope and assistance to everyone, and specifically those struggling.
I know that people can't tell all their worries to the one around, and with 7cups they won't bottle it anymore. That's what I like about this site.
@CheerfulSmile
Agree.
Sounds great
7 CUPS reminds us all that we're NEVER ALONE . There is always someone who is willing to give us time and listen .
I'm impressed by 7cups ability to tap into our desires to want to both grow and help. Kudos to 7cups for knowing people have those qualities.
Never think of yourself little.Cause every human being is the specific element of this world.We all have our rolls in this world.For that we have come in this world...If you're short in height,black in skin,have blunt nose and not so attractive looks,can't understand things quickly.. this all are okay.. before expecting everyone out there will accept your flaws, you accept that first.Never be ashamed of you. have firm faith in yourself..
This site is so chilled and friendly, it is so easy to talk to people who have a similar mind set
