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.

Hey everyone! I am so glad I found this site. I was not sure if these exist, and would've never thought that there is one so well-organized and with engaging content. I am here as a listener, because I love hearing out other people, and would like to help in anyway I can. To have a safe space like this can make a lot of people's lives so much better. If it is just a nice short chat, or a deep bonding and real support, either way this place is an amazing tool to lift up humanity. I am looking forward to all my chat partners and gaining experience as a Psychology student. Glad I'm here

If the society is hurting, perhaps our first priority should be to alleviate the pain. by ~ Elliot Eisner, one of the great philosophers of Art Education.
I am an Empath. So I feel for others, and try to make their pain lessen, to make them smile, to be positive and know that they are absolutely here for a purpose. No doubt.
There is a duty for us to amend, Our society that is in pain. We must immerse ourselves in it, find pleasure in helping, supporting, and caring for other. Getting one step closer to alleviating the pain, heal/soften the wound, stop the bleeding, and Save a Life.
I am passionate about mental health, support and understanding I am empathic, understanding, non-judgemental and compassionate towards so many of the people I come across, no matter where they have come from, and no matter where we both happen to be.
"We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with understanding, true EMPATHY. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of THE MOST POTENT FORCES FOR CHANGE..." ~ Carl Rogers
