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.

im deeply appologize its my connection that went off and has just came back
It's a wonderful experience to be here on 7cups as a listener and to become better n better stepwise is quite a challenge but it really feels great to help someone out in anyway we can.
I love being a listener on 7 cups. I've alway loved to help people or at lest try
Amazing platform to help and get help
The 7 Cups commuinty is a wonderful thing to be apart of! Thank you to all for are members and for making a difference in the World by reaching out to the hurting! God Bless You All! :0)
7Cups is a great platform where I got to see so many different issues and perspectives which I probably wouldnt have encountered elsewhere. Its wonderful how we all are here helping each other out. It also saddens me sometimes when I come across people who come here for random timepass and misuse 7Cups.
7cups allows for discussions we need to have and let
I love 7cups it's nice that people can come here and always have someone to talk to!
7Cups offers suppport at times of great need to those who may otherwise hesitate to seek it.
Sometimes all we need to feel heard, and being a part of this community that "listens to people and what they have to say" is very fulfilling and something I'm immensely grateful for.
good platform but one problem they block after one bad review.. they have to check the review
