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 first found 7 Cups a few days ago, when I was desperately looking for someone to hear me out.
I think I have committed one of the biggest mistakes in my life. My first ever listener (too bad I was not able to note her name) was so kind and compassionate. I cried a lot when I was chatting with her, but my burden sort of felt lighter with that. After that, I immediately wanted to join and become a listener.
Although I am still learning the ropes around here, I feel so happy that I am able to help others even in the smallest of ways. I feel a sense of fulfillment helping others heal, and I too, feel that I am a day closer to healing each time.
I am honored to be a part of this nook of the Internet.

I am already so happy and honored to be able to help people here.This website is amazing,I am proud to be here.
@CatherineJordan123 thats great!
Awesome app ! Great way to help people!
I was first referred to this site by a friend of mine. Needless to say, after exploring a bit, I knew I wanted to be a listener. I love helping people and helping them through their trials is something I have loved doing. I'm still learning, but I have loved being a listener and I hope to be one for a long time and continue to grow and become better.
@meenanelson
Wonderful! I'm happy you've had a good experience on the site. We're glad to have you! <3
I look forward to the relaunch of the program. I hope I'll be able to promote 7cups and tell more people about it.
I've been a listener since April, and I am glad that I have helped a lot of people. For those who are struggling, or need help, always know that I will be always here, ready to listen to whatever your problem is. If you need anything, do not hesitate to send me a message.
