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 tell my friends about 7 Cups and what we do here, they seem very supportive and some are even interested!

Suggesting 7 Cups to friends who may feel they need assistance is a great method to get them some help, especially if they don't feel ready to speak with a professional to open up :)

Being a listener has been really great, and is a very rewarding experience! I really enjoy helping people!

The most useful asset of a person is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full of love, with ears open to listen, and hands willing to help. <3

This is 7cups <3

Finding value for oneself by being a listener is what I can totally relate to.

I feel the same way. I'm helping people and also helping myself. I love trying to bring light and positivity to those are having down days. It makes me feel better when I, myself am having a down day. 😊

I haven't been helping others for a while now... cause I had to help myself. But right now I'm fully committed to this again.
