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.

Okay, I've been volunteering as a listener for few months now and I need to say something:

There isn't any thing that could make me feel better than simply help other people. It may sound odd, but anyone who hasn't tried that yet should consider doing so. It really helps, you'll see

I held a offline workshop in my college and got about 50 people to get to know about the 7 cups platform and 2 even interested in participating as listeners

When I first came here, I was so sad and lonely and felt so incomplete. This made me understand what it feels to be heard. To be for someone when they need someone so much just to listen without judging, without blaming you! I didn't have to dress up put heaps of make up and my high heels to fit the box. I laughed for hours chatting with a random person and felt so good. I didn't feel guilty about anything. I started loving myself once again. Just because I'm a listener here doesn't make me any different from any members here. We all go through some mess in life and hey its okay to reach out for help! And I learn so much from my work here.
