SubCommunities to develop over the next few weeks/ Months

Over the past few months, we have worked hard to tighten our existing subcommunities, forum categories and group rooms. We have done a lot of reorganizing. We did surveys to better understand how to best label certain topics to ensure all users know what they communities were for and what kind of support could be done there. It has been incredible to watch and be part of. I am extremely proud of what we have accomplished together - it represents a lot of teamwork.

Our work reorganizing and tightening up our forums will be ongoing. However, in the next 1-4 months, wed like to develop some more topic based subcommunities with your help! Yay! Some will be to match the needs of our growing community - they are topics suggested by our community. Others will be created in conjunction with partnerships. You can think of the partnership communities similar to NAMI Support. The partner organization provides additional resources to help build the community space up, but the subcommunity is free for all. They are spaces run by our community for our community, with our values, systems and volunteers. Partner organizations link to these spaces and use our site as a resource for their population. It is a win-win for everyone!

There are many people that are served by other agencies across the world. One easy way to reach them is through these agencies. Going forward we will be partnering with other nonprofits and social good organizations to provide help to their members. In that pursuit, we will be creating subcommunities on the topics their members would benefit from. This definitely does not take away from the fact that we will continue to build communities 7 Cups users request and advocate for.

The names of these communities are still undecided, but the topics include:

1) Self-Esteem & Body Image - Teen Only Subcommunity (locked to users under 18 and approved adults)

2) Transitional Age Youth/ Foster Care Support

3) Older adults - 50 +

4) Family Support

5) Veterans Support (more info on this new topic here)
