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.

@Saltedbythesea
That is awesome! I am really excited that you are spreading the word. Have you considered joining social soldiers? We have three separate teams, Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit. You can join one, two or all three :) here is the application link if you want to sign up!
It's been a rocky road on a start, but I hope it will get easier to be an active listener. I'm glad to have begun, nontheless

@Dillion - not yet, but I'll take a look at it :)
Never stress yourself about anything. You are born here to live a life where you don't have to do a particular job forever neither you have to stay with the same bunch of people forever nor at the same place. You are meant to travel across the world meet millions of new people and live your each day like a new day:)
That's really awesome. Spreading 7cups on internet so more people will find it out and be helped is something everybody should do!
5 replies to tweets done :)
I really love the idea but sadly I'm not active on one of this three social medias. I only use Instagram. :)
@JulesJoules--I didn't have an account on any of them when I first joined Social Soldiers either. And that worked out well because you have to have an account specifically for 7 Cups to be part of Social Soldiers. Are you interested in making an account on one of those social media platforms? Feel free to PM me if you have questions :)
@Amelia
No, I think I won't make any of these accounts. I try to reduce my time on social media - except 7Cups and Instagram. They're my favourite and I just got rid of all other accounts I had. It's just better for my health. :)
But thnak you for your answer anyway. :*
Very cool!
Yeah social soldiers forever! XD
