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! :)

I can help people by listening and offering emotional support in an objective way and sharing them self help guides from our site.
be there for them, picking them up when there down is always the best option. Humour can always make the bitter taste sweet.

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.

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.

You can show them support by letting them know you're there for them and that you will listen without judging
You can become a listener on seven cups of tea by going through a simple application and training process
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.

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.

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.
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.
There's a simple way - sign up to be a listener here on 7 cups of tea! You get to helps lots of people, while being in a close and supportive environment yourself.
Become a listener. If one of your friends on social media need help or an ear listen to them. Dont let people go with out knowing someone does care.
There are lots of ways to help people online in need. Firstly you'd have to figure out who they are and secondly what they need help with. This is why I use 7cups. It's a convenient and wonderful site where you can help people online through a secure platform. The most important thing to consider when dealing online is, after all, security.

Show empathy and be willing to be by their side, show that you care. And, try to relate if you can.
You can try offering them advice and letting them know that you, yourself are offering an open heart and an open ear. Try to show empathy and compassion as well.
I can help people online by listening to them, trying to understand them and taking the time to listen and empathise with their situation.
I can help someone work out what they feel they need and work with them so they get where they want to be.
I can help people by just being their support.

Try to understand their situation and be kind, always be open minded no matter what the situation is.
Hey...we can help people online by telling them their importance..
By showing them new brighter ways to cope their problems.
By listen them by motivate them and changing their negative views into optimistic approach😃
The best way, which is one of the few ways a counselor or a psychotherapist would do in their own training, is to actively listen and embody what the other person needs.
The most important thing is to show them that you are there to listen to what they have to say. Maybe they're in a situation there is nothing you or they can do about, but the support you're giving them is always helpful.

You can help people by just being there. It may not sound like a lot but to that person it may mean the world.
There are many ways you can help, you can for instance become a listener on 7cups and be there for people and listen to them, you can read through forums and give your opinion on the matter :)

We are human beings.. We are all different parts of same body and we need to be there for each others to make this world a better place. To make the world a paradise. Sometimes it's really great to talk to a person... About their life, struggles, and to support them.. Which I think makes us more human.. I won't be able to solve your problems, but I can be a shoulder for you to lie down... I can give you a hand to pull you up... I'm there for you... Let go the negatives and we need more positivity here... Let's achieve it together
you're welcome for sure to join 7cups and our community as a listener! We would be glad to have you!

Well, one great way is this site, 7 cups of tea! It allows you to listen to those in need which is great if you are not a professional. Personally, I find it very rewarding and not stressful. It does require a bit of training.
Another way is work at hotlines. This requires more training, and you must be over 18.
There are other places that allow you to help. Just remember to be safe online and not give out personal information.

You can help people in need like using 7Cups. You can talk to somebody that needs someone to talk to and comfort them.
There is only so much that you can do when it's someone online. If they are in immediate danger, ask them to call 911 (or their country's emergency number). Besides that, you can recommend that they talk to a listener, refer them to a suicide hotline, crisis hotline, etc., and give them other resources. There's not much more that you can do though, sadly.
