You can always start from here by becoming a listener, also you can apply to suicidal hotlines, there's a lot of things you can do to help people, be a friend and support people around you...you can also start with your online friends!

Well there are two ways this can help: So for people who need help it can give them a impartial ear, that is not judgemental. For people who listen: it gives us skills and insite that we can apply to our lives

You can always google different ways to help people online. You can search "how do I help people online" to see what results you come up with. You can always search crisis help or helping others and see what results show. When I first came to 7cups, I had searched "crisis chats" and 7cups was one of the things to come up. I've been here ever since as a listener!

There should be a 'become a listener' option on the top of the page, if you are on an ipad or phone device it should be somewhere on the home page :)

7 cupsoftea is a pretty clear way to do that, and please don't limit yourself to just online. You might be a true force of positive energy to be reckoned with in the real world! Don't doubt yourself. Maybe you are just to busy for now for real life in that case. just be really really active on 7cups

You can become a listener. Just make sure you can keep a healthy balance in your volunteer work, so that helping others starts to come before helping yourself, which isn't always a good thing.

A person can help someone online by showing empathy towards them, trying to make them understand that a situation is not as worse as it seems and that they should never take an extreme step no matter how difficult life becomes.

You search for your local volunteer website like here we have volunteer Scotland. Needless to say, you can also volunteer here as a Listener. Depending upon your computing skills, you can help by maintaining and/or creating social media pages such as Facebook and Twitter for start-up companies. They look for people like that all the time or at least they do so here and it gives you a reference as well as some experience. Employers also like to see that you keep busy so even although it might not be relevant to the job you might be applying for, if you have very little to put on your curriculum vitae, you can put that down to show you keep busy, you're not lazy and you're willing to do even the smallest of tasks that perhaps some people don't want to be doing. You could also do some research work; seems to be a lot of requests for that. Doing various online duties for companies such as sending out really important emails to members. Unless you're looking for a reference, sometimes the easiest volunteer work to look for is to simply give your services. We do it without knowing such as when we reply to someone's query on a forum about how to fix a problem or give them some suggestions; sometimes simply answering a question and knowing you've helped or tried to help someone is enough satisfaction from some such as myself. It really all depends on what you look for but perhaps you should search for "work from home" volunteer work but be careful; every company you come across, do your research and make sure they are legitimate. I would start off by finding your local volunteer website though and check the websites reputation before using it. That's how I found volunteer Scotland. Hope this helps.

Becoming a listener is a great way to do that, there are also other options some people volunteer on online suicide hotlines, or sites for specific concerns eg. Parenting worries if this is an area they have had experience with before, ifs worth doing a Google search and finding out an area that you might be interested and then contacting the site and telling them that you would like to/working out the process.

By becoming a listener here on 7Cups! Also many crisis centres do online chats. Being a forum mod on a forum about a topic you care about is another option.

You can find online websites that will help you through certain things in gaining an understanding on how to help people and then normally that will give you the opportunity to assist. A good place to start is the all time google, and then create a list of possible places and start going through them.

You can create a member account which is required for you to become a listener and sign up. They will have a few questions for you but it is all worth it.

Well considering you might be reading this answer, this website is an AMAZING place to start. If you aren't a listener, I would highly recommend becoming one. And if you become a listener it doesn't just mean that you can't ask for help yourself. We're all one big helping community here!!!

I can help people by just being someone who replies with real life compassion and feelings. I think that helps when you need someone to talk to right now that isnt involved in your everyday life.
