You can join a site like this one and become a listener and help people through problems you may have gone through yourself.

You can start by simply listening to people and if they need any advice or help refer them to professionals who have the training and experience to help them.

Being there for them. Just talking them through things. Just being a friend can really help someone.

You can help them by being a friend and listen carefully to he/she. You can help them by listening to what they have to say.

Lending an ear is the best way to really help someone. In today's busy world not everyone is lucky to have a friend who can really take time out of their busy schedule to listen and advice. Although it is difficult to communicate in details with some people who can be either shy or resistant in sharing their stories but listening and encouraging them to vent their feelings can actually help them analyze their own innermost thoughts and help them act accordingly. One should refrain from advising as it may not be justified at times and instead should focus more on active listening and empathizing which people nowadays look for.

There are plenty of ways to help people online in my opinion, I think volunteering on this site or a similar site is one way but I also think that kindness and politeness on other forums, blogs and websites is another form of kindness, telling someone that you appreciate their writing, that you thought "X" about their blog or that you were impressed. very often the internet is a place of anonymous hostility I think that together we can make it a nicer place for all of us with a little added compassion and understanding.

There is a certain limit on how much you can help someone, be it online or in person. That being said, it realy is not about how much or how you can help someone, more often than not all we need to have is the willingness to help others and that can be done in infinite number of ways. 7 cups is one way where we can extract the benefits of helping others. By being compassionate and empathetic for all the members here who want help. Sometimes all we need is a ear for our words. That i think can be done online as well.

You can just talk to them and accompany them if you feel like they need it . What i do is, when they talk about their worse situation , i tell them how things can be more worst what you have is nothing. Sometimes i do share my stories to make them feel easy and comfy.

Lend an open ear to them and if you are not able to help them yourself then either refer them to another listener or a hotline for their problem.

I've lived in many states and countries. I've walked with many individuals who I've both helped and learned from. Using these experiences, I believe that I can offer troubled individuals help through communication and problem solving.

A great way to help people online is really just to be there for them. When they need your help, or they need to talk to someone, make sure you respond positively. Try to give them the feeling that they can always bounce up from a problem.

Its important to encourage people to get ask for help.. Encourage them to talk to a therapist if they suffer from a mental illnes! Be polite and empathic! Listen to them... You can not solve all their problems right through the computerscreen. But you can support them to be strong and get the help they need.

Just be yourself, try understanding them and think of it from their point of view so you know what they would rather have someone say to uplift their mood. -loads of love,

be there for them, picking them up when there down is always the best option. Humour can always make the bitter taste sweet.

Be a listener here! :) Helping the community may not always be making another seven cups! It can be as simple as taking care that no one in your social circle on the internet is getting bullied or slut shamed or abused in any sense. You can help your juniors in school and at work to set up online in a safe environment. You can make videos or post documents online raising issues about things that threaten the peace of your and our community. Take care. Cheers! :)

Listen to them intently and patiently before jumping to respond. The more information you have the better you will be able to help them.

Just being there for them helps. The right tone is something that plays a important role for them to trust and open up. In turn helping themselves, which is what this service is all about.
