Budding of New Leaves - Asher Stepping Down
Community Projects & Events / by Asher

...See more Hello Amazing Community, Hope you're all doing amazing and that you have a lot of cake in your life as well. Through my time with 7 Cups I had the honor and privilege to apply for a role that I thought was not going to happen to me. I came into 7 Cups in 2020 during the pandemic to push myself and try something new. Never did I think that later that year I would be a Mentor Leader and then an Ambassador 3 months later on. It has been a roller coaster of an adventure, with meeting new people, trying new things and the amazing ambassadors I have met. It has extended my family here by a lot and now need a 7 Cups House to house everyone. After a lot of thinking and reflection, I have decided to step down from the role of Community Ambassador. Currently I’m working full time which has been draining and going to college part time to get my Masters in Biomedical Sciences. The road ahead is going to be challenging, and I'm looking forward to the adventure ahead to get into medical school as well. As it’s been the passion that has gotten me here as well. Even those I’m stepping down I will be around, doing forum posts and hanging out with you all. This is a new chapter in my life, and a new beginning forward as well, a budding of new leaves. I’ll always answer your DM’s and hope to talk to you all soon again. Keep being amazing and beautiful. Sincerely, Asher Former Community Ambassador “Part of the adventure is the unknown”
International Resource Database Moving Forward

...See more Hello all, It's been awhile since I made an update on this project. That's most because I got a new job that has been stressful, including wrapping my head around the challenges of it and how challenging it's going to be as well. For the International Resource Database, I took on a mountain that is climbable but needs some steps to get there. From my professional and personal experience having a resource database for listeners to use for ideas on coping skills websites to give out or places that could also further support members is a great resource. Not having one, can make some chats stand still and not progress at times. The database will not give medical (in the aspect of not to cure all) and is not a perfect fit for all issues. Over the next 3 months, I will be focusing on the North America resources and will be creating a team to focus on North America only. This opportunity also has a Mentor Leader spot that will open to help run this region's database in the future, so that there's 1 Mentor Leader for each region. Current Plans: Step 1: Review the resources that we have and update them to database that I have made (some editing might be needed as Google Sheets awhile ago hated me) Step 2: Work on adding 20-30 new resources a month for the North America Resource Database Step 3: Onboard a mentor to lead the process of approving resources Step 4: Have a full team and a mentor leader to do the whole process. Please DM me or leave a comment below for questions. Picture description: A hand tossing up a globe with a mountain and river in the background.

...See more Hello all, I am excited to announce 3 mentors for the Group Leadership Dynamics and Development team. They all have been working hard on making sure that trainees are supported and have coming up with amazing ideas to help improve the program as well. Please welcome in our new mentors: @AriadneLove: Has been working on improving the discussion that the community can host with the Listener Chatroom Projects that allow listeners in the program the chance to apply the skills they learn within the program before graduating from the program. They also help out with welcoming new trainees to the program to assist with the common questions they may have. @Olivia210: Has been helping out with mentoring for the Member Support rooms and making sure that trainees can learn more ways to apply their skills to these rooms as well. Within the program, they assist with the Mid-evaluations forms to make sure that trainees are on track for their graduation. @OuiCherie: Works on the first-week check-ins and assist with areas that may need additional coverage as well. They help with cooridating ideas and making sure that we see all viewpoints of our ideas. Congrats, and I look forward to the amazing things you will do in the future.
