...See more Need some support achieving your wellness huddle goal? Share here what type of support you need. It could be ieas for breaking down your goal into a smaller step, ideas for reducing a barrier, help with figuring out the SMART structure for your goal or you need some extra encouragement after a setback, etc! We can then offer the support you're seeking.  This is a supplement to the group chat - sometimes a slower pace allows for new ideas to pop up, and it sticks around for all timezones.

Shared Spaces, Shared Respect: A Reminder on Tolerance & Inclusivity
by Heather225
Last post
 July 12th
...See more Hi everyone! 7 Cups is, at its core, a global sanctuary built on empathy, acceptance, and community. We host a wide variety of group chat rooms to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, struggles, or identity, has a safe place to feel seen and supported. We want to address a situation that occasionally comes up across our platform, particularly within our LGBTQ+ room, regarding how we interact with spaces that might not apply to us. Sometimes, individuals enter a room simply to express discomfort with its presence on their sidebar or to ask how to remove it. Entering any topic-based support room, whether it’s for the LGBTQ+ community, grief support, chronic illness, (etc., to question its visibility can unintentionally disrupt the supportive environment inside. For communities that may already face outside challenges, our rooms need to remain absolute safe havens. When an interaction makes members feel like they have to defend their right to be visible, it impacts the core purpose of that support group. True tolerance means embracing that spaces exist for everyone, respecting their right to be visible, and allowing those rooms to remain peaceful and inclusive. How the Chat List Works To clear up any confusion and prevent these unintended disruptions: * Active public rooms display automatically so those in need can find them. Listings cannot be customized or hidden individually. * Visibility is not enrollment: Seeing a room on the list does not mean you are a member or obligated to engage. * You choose where to enter: If a room or topic doesn’t apply to your life or beliefs, you simply do not have to enter. The most supportive choice you can make for your fellow members is to just scroll past. No matter which room you visit or find comfort in: You belong here, you are welcome, and your spaces are valid. Let’s continue to choose kindness, hold ourselves to a high standard of mutual respect, and do our caring community proud. ------------------------- Please review our full 7 Cups Community Guidelines to learn more about our standards for respect, safety, and inclusivity.

...See more Hello 7 Cups Ambassadors,   I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for being so incredible. As a member, I don’t always see everything that happens behind the scenes, but I appreciate the time, care and dedication you put into keeping the community safe, organised and filed with kindness and support. You hardwork and contributions helps to make 7 Cups such a special place for me.    Thank you @Rebehak for keep the community safe and ensuring everyone follows the guidelines. I’ve really enjoyed attending the safety discussion you’ve hosted in the past, they really help me better understand how to stay safe online.    Thank you @Yourbuddy30 for supporting the academy programs, @PostivePumpkin22 for helping with the leadership development program and @Anusha for helping with the internship program. While I may not know much about the academy side of 7 Cups, I truly admire the effort and care you put into helping listeners grow, learn and develop their skills. It must take a lot of hard work, but you are doing great at it!   Thank you @soulsings for always supporting me. I really enjoy sending you my daily to do list and working through it together. I’m grateful for your continued care and support throughout school. I also love attending your mindfulness session. Thank you, soul, your kindness means more than you know.      Thank you @AnnaSilverberg you are such an amazing person and listener. Thank you for always helping me feel safe and for bringing a smile to my face after a bad day. I like sitting in calming quiet with you and hosting together. Thank you for your posts on Pete, Malu and Saja, they help me learn to understand my feelings and control my emotions.   Thank you @Tommy for helping keep the forums organised and engaging. I appreciate all the work you do, it doesn’t go unseen!   Thank you @Harsvin and @InternalAcceptance for helping listeners maintain high standards and focusing on quality. I’m not sure what the anonymous evaluation team is but it sounds mysterious and top secret.    Thank you @Suryansh, @Jenna and @EmmaE for playing a central role in supporting listeners and helping with the listener chatrooms. I appreciate you being there for the listeners. Being a listener doesn’t look easy at all, it means so much to me knowing there are people there to support and care for them too.    Thank you @Amy for helping the welcome committee and @KristenHR for helping with the verified listener team.   Thank you for all your time, leadership and support.

Community Mod Feedback Form!
by CommunityModLou
Last post
 October 22nd
...See more Hey hi hellouuuu everyone! I would like to announce a really exciting initiative that those in charge of the community moderation team have created so that we, as community moderators, can get your feedback about how we’re doing. It’s called the… Community Moderator Feedback Form! What is this form? This form is a way for you to give your thoughts about how us community mods rate on a few different factors i.e. professionalism, fast response to PMs (... I know I suffer from this one), etc. Isn’t this just a report form? No! This is not a replacement for reporting. When you report a moderator, it is for a specific behavior or situation. This form is for overall feedback. But Lou, how do I evaluate you if you’re in charge of the form? I am not in charge of the form. I’m just the little robot messenger. Admin will be reading the form and providing us feedback based on your responses! Will the Comm Mods see my responses and know I sent them? Nope! While we encourage you to put your username so we know someone isn’t using the form in bad faith (for example, spamming because they’re unhappy with the mod), your username will not be shared with us. How is this useful? This can give us mods valuable feedback about our different moderation styles, where we can improve as individual moderators, and where we can improve as a team! Can I evaluate more than one moderator? Absolutely! To do so, please submit one form for EACH mod for whom you would like to leave feedback, or if you would like to leave feedback for the Community Mod Team overall, there is an option to leave feedback for the whole team. Some things to remember * Be honest! Remember, the best feedback is honest, thorough, clear, kind, and constructive. We can’t grow from mean statements. * Think generally not specifically. Make sure you’re evaluating the moderator based on all of your experiences, not just one time. * You should only evaluate the moderators that you feel you can give a fair evaluation to. Unless you’re awake 24/7 (I hope not!), you won’t have met every moderator. In fact, you might see some names on this last and think, “Who is that?!” Please only fill out the form for moderators that you have been around many times. If you have any questions, you can post below! Click here for the feedback form! [https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/1A7sThDz8bDEBZkT21cCyVDkaUmTbivezR6EYj0GhBp4/preview] Stay great, friends!

Give Sorrow Words
by Refq19
Last post
 October 22nd
...See more "Give sorrow words; the grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break." …William Shakespeare  I'll admit something: sometimes I sit in front of a message from someone sharing real pain, and I don't know what to say. Every sentence I type, I delete, afraid it will sound shallow or hurt them more. I'm not sure every listener feels this way, but I do, and so do some listeners I know, so I wanted us to talk about it openly. A feeling like this isn't weakness or failure. More often, it's a sign that we take this seriously. What might be happening inside us? Researchers Tania Singer and Olga Klimecki distinguish between two responses to someone else's suffering: * Empathic distress: feeling intense distress at the other person's pain and wanting to pull away to protect ourselves. If it continues, it can lead to burnout. * Compassion: feeling warmth, care, and a desire to be there for the person. In their experiments, compassion training reduced negative feelings and engaged a different brain network. So when you feel unable to respond, ask yourself: am I drowning in their pain, or am I present with them? The fear of saying the wrong thing Carl Rogers, founder of person-centered therapy, saw empathic understanding and unconditional acceptance as key conditions for helping someone feel safe. Research by Guy Itzchakov and colleagues on "high-quality listening" describes it as attention, effort to understand, and positive intention, and links it to better well-being for the speaker. And in a study on thank-you letters, Amit Kumar and Nicholas Epley found that people underestimate the impact of their kind words and overestimate how awkward the other person will feel. That study isn't about listening specifically, but it reminds us that our simple words may matter more than we imagine. When we feel stuck, we can: * Be honest : "What you shared is heavy, and I don't want to say something that minimizes how you feel. Can you tell me more?" * Reflect back what we heard : "So you feel alone in this?" * Leave room for silence  without filling it with advice. * Avoid phrases like  It will pass" or "Others have it worse." * Remember that our role is to listen , not to fix A question for members: When you share something painful with someone, what kind of response do you need most? Just to be heard? Reassurance? Questions? Advice? There's no wrong answer, and your replies will help listeners respond in ways closer to what you actually need. And for listeners: * When did you feel unable to respond, and what did you do? * Is there a sentence you regretted, or one that comforted someone more than you expected? * How do you protect yourself from emotional exhaustion after heavy conversations? Share your experiences. Maybe one of ours will help someone else.
