**My response time will be delayed- around 24-72 hours or potentially more, however, I will get back to you the minute I can.
**Please note I am currently not taking new member chats. If you see me online in a group you are free to ask if you would like to talk in PM's and I will let you know if I am available. This does not apply if I have offered you to PM me.

Hello, you can call me Sage (:
I'm here to support you and to provide a non-judgemental and empathetic environment where you feel heard and validated. I'm here for you, and I hope to be able to help you through your struggles. Please note I only take support chats for 30-60 minutes at a time.
I do not offer advice. This is because I will never really know your full situation and as it can be harmful, however, I'm happy to talk through things with you and brainstorm ideas together. I'm here to help you find a path and guide you down it; not draw out that path for you and make you walk it.
My listening style tends to be waiting for you to finish sharing and then typing out a lengthier response. If you do not like this or find that it doesn't work for you, please let me know. I am here to help you as best I can, and that means you not compromising for my ease. I am happy to adapt/adjust my style to something you would like better. If you would prefer someone different to be your listener, feel free to browse listeners over here. This is a safe space, and I am here for you.

Topics I feel comfortable taking a chat on:
Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, PSTD/trauma, grief, self harm, student life, family stress, DV
I will offer support and take chats no matter your religion/ethnicity/spirituality/beliefs, however, I do not take casual chats or sexual chats. I do not have any experience in the topics listed below, and therefore do not feel comfortable taking chats on them. If you need more support on one of these topics, please browse listeners for someone who can better support you.
Sexual health, men's issues, weight management, relationships, DID, LGBTQ+ issues, active self harm or crisis chats. 7 cups is not a crisis resource, and we are not trained to offer support during those moments. Go to https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ for country specific crisis resources.
