Welcome Committee - Listeners

 August 18th
...See more Welcome Committee - Listeners Hey everyone! I hope you are doing well!  I'm happy to share that the Welcome Committee - Listeners is being officially launched! Mission Starting out on 7 Cups as a new listener can feel overwhelming. From accepting your first chat to exploring different rooms and learning resources, there is a lot to do and see! That's why the Welcome Committee will be here to support new listeners through this journey. Our goal is to help new listeners feel confident using the platform within their first month and to reduce confusion around features, expectations, and where to find help. How does it work? Team members will reach out to new listeners to welcome them and ask if they have any questions, following up a few days after the initial contact. We may not be able to reach out to all new listeners, so if we missed you, feel free to contact a team member directly or reach out to a mentor [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/mentors/]. How can I join? We would love to have you on the team! The requirements are the following: * Verified listener * 100+ chats completed * 4.5-star rating or above * At least 5 reviews * Listener level: Apprentice or higher (6,881+ cheers) Team members have a quota of 20 initial outreaches and 20 follow-ups per month. If you meet the requirements, feel free to read the guide [https://tinyurl.com/7CupsWCL-TeamPMguide] to get an idea of how it works and apply here [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]! If you have any questions, feel free to reply to this post or message me! Thank you to @AnnaSilverberg and @Heather225 for the idea and support!

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 July 25th
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions, and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There are two sides of the Welcome Committee: one to serve members and one to serve listeners. 1. To qualify to join the Member Welcome Committee, here are the requirements: * You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] * No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months * Comfortable PMing * Google Sheets skills – Basic knowledge of managing data in Google Sheets is necessary. Note: The team uses spreadsheets to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. This work can't be done via phone. We apologize for the inconvenience * Maintenance criteria: 1-2 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✅ Apply here! [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdye3w6JNdBiU4gNfilMGSxEfnqXXsQb-lR_xTvJmGD3GHKiA/viewform] 2. To qualify to join the Listener Welcome Committee, here are the requirements: * Verified listener * 100+ chats completed * 4.5-star rating or above * At least 5 reviews * Listener level: Apprentice or higher (6,881+ cheers) If listener support is your thing, find out more about the requirements on the team's promo post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/TheWelcomeCommitteeTeam_2670/WelcomeCommitteeListeners_374511/]. ✅ Apply  [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]here [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm]! [https://tinyurl.com/WCLApplicationForm] ------------------------- You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. Help us extend our reach and support our precious new folks!

Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 September 7th
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/KitchenTable_133/SelfhelplearningwithLaura_743/7CUPSCOMPASSIONCOURSE_6809/1/] which was created by Laura. The course is for members only. Not for listeners! The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the group support chat rooms. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the chat rooms and the community. Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, then also welcome to take part in it. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion. How can a member participate? * Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post. * Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well. * Your responses to the course will be graded and if you successfully passed it, you will receive, “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Please remember that this course is designed to help you practice compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Because it is kindness that makes any place a better place to live in. Also, it will make you feel more comfortable, and well equipped to participate and be a wonderful participant in the group support chat rooms and forums. If you have any feedback to improve the course or any other ideas, please let us know in the comments of this thread. On that note, I invite you to take the compassion course here: https://tinyurl.com/4us8x8ue A big thank you to @vivelespatates for single-handedly managing this initiative for all these years! ------------------------- Edit: by ASilentObserver on 04/06/2022

Quick 7 Cups App Overview for Members
by Heather225
Last post
 April 17th
...See more Hi, everyone! I am answering some common questions to help folks navigate the member interface. ------------------------- What is this first icon? This is the Home tab. This is where you see curated feed activity (i.e. posts you may be interested in/content you may want to see), and quick buttons to the main features of the platform: Therapy signup, Chat (1:1s and chatrooms), and Community (forums). How do I talk to a listener? The button sits next to the Home button, the speech bubbles, have the following: * Your 1:1 chatlist. All chats you start go here.  * Start new chat = This is how you can enter the General Request Queue/Chat live queue to connect with the first available listener. You can also sign up for Therapy here. * Find listener = This goes to Browse Listeners, our directory of listeners to PM. You can filter by language/availability/support category etc. * Groups = Our chatrooms. Click it and you’ll see the group support rooms available to you. Where are the forums? The middle tab contains all of our forums. Where are the Growth Paths and Mindfulness activities library? The next tab over (the 4th) ⛅️ What’s the bell icon? This is where you’ll see all of our alerts for events, notifications of hearts (likes)/responses (known as tags or Mentions) to you in the forums, and badges earned. Note: The app has limited features in terms of links/accessible resources, so I recommend switching to the site version frequently to make full use of everything 7 Cups offers. ------------------------- I hope this quick run-through helps you out! If you have any questions at all, leave them below! You may also PM me!
