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.

Hello!. I have been unable to open the manual. Its saying that I am being denied access!! How do I open it?
I would love to be a social warrior :)
Everyone is supportive, it's a friendly community. I'd reccomend 7 cups to anybody who needs to talk!
I learned today in helping a User that even though Im definitely far from perfect myself and I have my own individual issues I deal with. I was able to relate more with this person and Help them to better understand themselves and In the process I helped myself as well and learned that even though you might be imperfect you dont have to be perfect to beable to help someone else it just makes you stronger to know that you were able to push everything aside to really help this person and in doing so you brought some light to yourself on how strong you really are.
7cups is a place to feel heard and to let out what you need to say with someone who is willing and compassionate towards what you need to say. This is the place to find those who will give up their time to lend an ear to those who need to speak out.
Everyone deserves a second chance, just keep holding out to get yours
7Cups is such an amazing place. It's super helpful and the community is great.
:)
By helping others, i help myself too! Thanks alot, 7cups! <3
I think one day I may just try to apply for this! More people should know about the awesomeness of 7cups, especially when some social media sites can be unfriendly at times.
