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.

I love 7cups. Even without being a social warrior I was able to get 70 referral clicks by using my social media accounts. I think everyone should know about this great site.
7cups gives people the chanceto get help, to grow and contributes highly to the well-being of our societies.
This site is so beautiful <3 so many people coming together to help each other!! :)
I always tell people that feel lonely that they can try become a listener themselves and help others while also feeling needed. That's a beautiful correlation
@Cadence
Can you tell me what do I have to write in the Social Soilder sign up form under the insert word section to continue from there? as no matter what I write I can't continue from there and after clicking continue it's say to reread the manual!!
7 cups is an amazing cite for people who need to talk to do so
I recently joined the passion project its a 4 week period of help and advice any information message me I'll point you in right direction
Being a 7 cups listener has been so awesome so far! I'm really happy that I made the decision to become a listener!
I do my best to spread the word on tumblr about 7Cups and what we do, to hopefully help at least one person if not more!
I absolutely love being a listener for 7 cups of tea I feel so happy when I help people overcome their challenges in life it makes me feel so good about my life and the path that I have chosen to go down in my life as becoming a qualified counsellor someday and this is giving me the ability to practice and I wish seven cups was around when I was in high school I graduated now from my school about 10 years ago nearly 11 years now and I really wish this was around when I was in high school this has been such a help for me through hard times as a member because it has taught me to believe in myself even as a member and even have a listener I love teaching people about 7 cups of tea and it is the best thing in the world I think and I recommend it to people everyday to become a part of this lovely community and it is taught me so much about how much the community means as the word and as the world in general as a community I even love the fact that I have people that I can talk to about particular issues that I am passionate about like disability and other various topics I am interested in I love the training I love the subgroups I love everything about 7 cups basically
