Relaunch: Project Group Support Buddy- 3.0
Group Support / by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 27th
...See more Hello all,   I hope everyone is doing well. I am excited to announce the relaunch of the Group Support Buddy program. The buddy program is one of the integral aspects of group support leadership, but it didn’t reach its full potential due to one or more challenges. One of the challenges was syncing the availability of the buddy who offers support and guidance and one who seeks guidance. As we are a global team and due to other variables, it isn't easy to sync the availability.  With this in mind, we made a few changes to restructure the program.  How would the new process work?  It involves a support request form that any group support leader can submit with their concerns or challenges related to the group support. Then, one of the experienced group support leaders can reach out to help and guide them through the issue within 24 hours.  Who is a group support leader?  A group support leader is any room supporter, chatroom moderator, host, or discussion leader.  Here is a brief comparison of what new versions have:  Comparison of Old & New Group Support Buddy Program Comparison Points Old Version New Version How to request support? 1-1 through private message Form-based Response Time 48 hours Within 24 hours Who will offer guidance & support Paired with a dedicated big buddy Anyone in the Group supports leadership to ensure coverage and timely support Who can seek support A new group support leader, ex: new room supporter, moderator Both new and existing group support leaders Who can become a buddy One who completed at least 1-2 weeks in their role. At least a month in their role Buddying timeframe First 2 weeks from starting the new role. Anytime in the given role. Questions can come up at any point of being in the role. Here is the group support buddy request (GSBR) form that you can save and bookmark. (Form link) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfc9tR-XeP0TpqJ4RsTF1x3WsDEbaseBsu1ZJ3tP5bS6l9bvQ/viewform] For ease and quick access, the form will also be available under the Member Group Support section [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/leadership/fdc3639b1dcb416bb0dc1033dcb0831b/] of the Become a Leader page and under the Resources section [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/] of the Group Support Community. Thank you all group support leaders for going above and beyond in their efforts to support the community in the group support chats. Let’s continue to support each other and in our roles to learn and grow together.  If you have any questions, please feel free to message Suryansh [http://7cups.com/@Suryansh]or me aka (ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentobserver])

World Mental Health Day: Embracing Mindfulness
Mindfulness Center / by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 15th
...See more Hello, community,  I hope you are all taking it easy this week. As we all know World Mental Health Day is observed annually on October 10th. It is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness about mental health issues and challenges and promoting well-being. When it comes to promoting well-being, mindfulness is one of the powerful practices to attain it. Today I want us to explore this topic and how it can significantly enhance our mental health.  So what is mindfulness?  It is the practice of being fully present in the moment, without any judgment. It includes paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them. In today's busy world, mindfulness is the key to taking care of our well-being. Some of the benefits of practicing mindfulness are:  * It helps to reduce stress by calming the mind and body. It helps to lower cortisol levels, a hormone associated with stress. * When we are focused on the present moment, mindfulness can help to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. * It helps individuals better understand and manage their emotions, leading to greater emotional resilience. * Regular practice of mindfulness can improve sleep quality by reducing racing thoughts and promoting relaxation. * Also helps individuals become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors, leading to greater self-understanding. By practicing mindfulness in our daily lives, we can improve our mental health and overall well-being. So let's commit to making mindfulness a priority in our daily lives and foster a culture of taking care of ourselves and being compassionate to ourselves and each other. How do you practice mindfulness in daily life? Share your thoughts and tips in the comments below.

Wonderful person and friend. They are down to earth. Very helpful.
They made me feel a bit better and they took the time to explain things, so I could better understand. Thanks for your time.
I texted Obs although it was clearly mentioned on his bio that he wouldn't be able to take new member requests and it's all because I was unable to trust anyone else but him. And he didn't let me down. I never expected such humble and kind responses from anyone. I'm literally crying.... May God bless you and keep you safe and happy all the time.
