Support Room 24/7 Coverage
(Scroll to bottom of thread for newest updates)
Hello everyone! I have decided to make this post to clear up information on this project as there was many posts about it in the same thread which made things confusing and a lot of posts to scroll past to see any updates with the project
What is this?
-This is a project which was recently created, the role when signing up for it is to be in support room for the time(s) you signed up each week at same time for and provide support and a listening ear to those who enter the room seeking support.
Who can sign up?
-Anyone who doesn't have the 'newbie badge' can sign up to cover the support room. You can sign up as a Listener, and as a member. Both adults and teens are welcome to join in!
How many sessions can I sign up for? -You can sign up for as many sessions as you can commit to each week at the same time, for a reasonable amount of weeks. If you can't attend a session one time, please don't worry.
Are there any rewards for doing this?
-Yes, you will be rewarded the awesome-ness of providing support to people, you will also be awarded a certain amount of cheers for each hour session you complete & track using the tracking form (It is linked at the bottom of this post).
I am an ATL, can I sign up for both, teen side and adult side sessions?
-Yes, as an adult-teen listener can listen and provide support to both teens and adults, you can sign up for teen and adult side sessions of this project!
Can I put up a discussion banner?
-You certainly can, please do not use nicknames on the banner, only ones in which everyone is aware of. For example, I cannot make a banner saying this "KeyRun is here to support ❤️" As newbies will not recognise who I am from that, I will be able to use "Kieran is here to support ❤️" however. It can be titled anything that shows you're there to support people for that hour.
How to Co-Host?
-The role is the same as hosting, just is with two hosts instead of one, this provides more support and allows the other host to feel able to step out the room for a small break if needed for some reason. Just complete the application form provided below to sign up to be a co host. Please communicate with your co host to let them know of it, and know this is only currently an option for teen side, as adult side has very little amount of primary hosts.
What to do if I'm going on a Self care break?
-Please PM me and I will mark you as on self care break and will send some virtual hugs if wanted, you will not have to attend your sessions.
Apply to become a host here (clickable).
If you have any questions please feel free to PM me, or contact me by replying to this thread.
@kieran000 hi.
Hi @ListeningToYou2782! I was going through my bookmarks from a year ago. I was wondering if this was still an active project or if things have changed.
