❤️💛💚💙💜

My name is Heather (my nickname is H), and I head the 7 Cups Community Management Team (list here). Please drop by my PMs if you have any questions or safety concerns!

Fun fact: I have a bird! His name is Flip: https://imgur.com/a/7CE0WQG

NOTE: I am unable to take member support chats as a listener. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners. Listeners indicate if they are taking on new chats in their profile. The green dot indicates they are currently online. For urgent needs please join the general queue ("Start new chat" on the app) and the first available listener will connect.

7 Cups is built on collaboration, and a little appreciation goes a long way! It takes just a second to make someone's whole day right now:

Transformation Wheel Success Stories!
Site Updates / by Heather225

...See more Hey, everyone! I'd just like to share some insights from community members who have tried out the Transformation Wheel (TTW) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/General_2444/IntroducingtheTransformationWheelInvitationtoJoin_342256/]for therapeutically tackling problems in their lives. Here's some initial testers thoughts: "The design makes this exercise very easy to track.  All categories, and journaling all in one wheel, making this very user-friendly, and easy to follow up with and understand." "The wheel’s design worked exceptionally well for me. It allowed me to address underlying concerns that I didn’t realize needed to be addressed. For instance, a question in the wheel asked about “the people impacted.” Prior to doing this intervention, although I was aware that this issue impacted others, I didn’t realize the extent to which. Doing this wheel allowed me to realize that I overlooked the extent of how the issue was impacting others in addition to myself. It allowed me to address it. It also really helped me to gain a deeper understanding of the problem and how to tackle it." "I think working with my therapist and psychiatrist, alongside journaling, worked really well. I enjoyed the layout of the wheel and I liked seeing how my ratings changed each week."  "It was like journaling but was done in a wheel format. I liked how it was visual as I could see it designed in a wheel. For the interventions I took to reduce the various negative feelings I was experiencing were journaling praying and also crocheting during my free time. I found it very fun to do." "I appreciated the design of the wheel and the prompts. The journaling each week was great too." "I liked everything but particularly The Miracle Question, it forced me to really consider what I was doing to myself "You would wish him back, but he hurt you. Is it him you wish back or the idea of him?" and that changed my perspective completely. I also felt like he helped clarify my vision for life and where I'm going." If you're looking for a new technique to try, and ready to invest in yourself, hop on over to the post to sign up for the 4-week Transformation Wheel Challenge: HERE [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/TherapeuticExperimentTheTransformationWheel_2681/TackleyourproblemsandwelcomepositivechangeJointheofficialTransformationWheelChallenge_345975/].

Site Updates / by Heather225
Last post
 2 days ago
...See more Hi, everyone! Just want to let you know that we have updated the channel through which we accept feedback/site suggestions. We moved away from the Google form and now ask submissions be put through the Helpdesk (linked here) [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/requests/new] within our Help Center (here) [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us]. Why we made the change: * Centralize all feedback: Keeping everything in one place makes it easier for us to review and track your suggestions. * Respond more effectively: The helpdesk allows for two-way communication, so we can ask clarifying questions and keep you updated on the status of your feedback. * Prioritize and organize: This system helps us manage the volume of feedback and focus on the most impactful suggestions. * Data: By tracking feedback trends, we can identify areas for improvement and make informed decisions about future development. The Helpdesk also serves the following: User reports Product support (bugs) Account deletion Age verification And more (see the dropdown for all options) You can also visit the Help Center itself to find answers to common questions. [https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us] We hope this new process makes it more convenient to share your valuable input. Thank you for your continued support and for being a part of our beloved community!

Daily Prayers, Intentions, & Beams!
Site Updates / by Heather225

...See more I often reflect on what makes our community so extraordinary. It’s the way we listen, the way we relate, the way we care for one another, and accept one another where we’re at, struggles and all. We are connected because we share the human experience. We find collective strength in one another and draw on that to not just survive, but thrive. Together, we're building a community where healing is possible, growth is inevitable, and hope is attainable. This interconnectedness is how we combat loneliness and create ripples of positive change, one connection, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time. Inspired by this shared connection and the incredible strength we find in one another, I have created this space for us to offer and receive support, pray for one anothers, set intentions for our community, and send positive energy to those in need. Think of this as our daily practice of collective care. Whether you have a specific prayer request for support or want to share a positive affirmation, this is the place to do it.  Whether you're going through a personal crisis, facing health concerns, or other difficulties, you can ask for an empathetic ear, offer prayers, or just comforting words. If you'd like a specific kind of support, please do mention it with your share. You can say as much or as little as you like about your situation. (It can be as simple as "please pray for x", "please send me strength/blessings/vibes", "please keep me in your thoughts", "send beams" [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/GlensNookCommunity_547/BEAMS_202686/] etc!) Or you can set intentions for your day. (ex. I intend to be more mindful of my own emotional needs and practice self-care.) If you have things that you want us to pray for and think about and send positive energy your way, let us know. (The community team is going to be engaged and following this closely in a more direct way, too. Many of you, like Glen, pray for our community daily or keep us in your thoughts!) This is an invitation for us to surface and build on these activities to strengthen our shining city and further lift one another up.  Ready? Share below!

...See more In these challenging times, we want to remember our commitment to inclusivity and support for all members of our diverse community, especially our LGBTQIA+ folks. We believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to connect, share their experiences, and find the help they need, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other identity. 7 Cups is built on the foundation of empathy and understanding. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome, respected, and heard. We recognize that the struggles and triumphs of the LGBTQIA+ community are unique and deserve specific attention and support, particularly in the face of current events. We are dedicated to providing resources, fostering understanding, and amplifying the voices of our LGBTQIA+ members. We know that allyship is an ongoing process, and we are constantly learning and growing. We encourage open and honest conversations about how we can better support our LGBTQIA+ community within 7 Cups and beyond. We value your feedback and insights as we continue this journey together. To all of you within our LGBTQIA+ family: What can the community do to better hear and support you during these difficult times? What are some things you wish allies understood? How can we express this? What would you like the community to know about LGBTQIA+ and beyond? Please answer any of the above. Your responses will be packaged up in a new post dedicated to community awareness to ensure we, as a collective community, are doing right by one another.

Help Us Build the 7 Cups Local Support Directory!
Site Updates / by Heather225
Last post

...See more Hi, everyone! We have been working on building out our new local support system as a way to bridge online care with offline care. Many people come to 7 Cups looking for help on the ground - they might need access to a food pantry, a shelter, a therapist, a treatment center, or a faith organization. We often make referrals to these places, but we can now do it right from our platform! If you search 7cups.com/local [http://7cups.com/local] by your area, you’ll see that we have the beginnings of a parallel mental health system for each country (and many states in the US). We are highlighting the number of people we’ve helped, the number of listeners, and the top 50 mental health issues for each state or country. We hope that these pages become hubs for local support resources and we'd like to invite you to help by submitting links to resources to expand our global reach. You can submit information through this form (here) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKa-xGlLjvwFDjyv5aW4WeM_nuP9u6oBiZkg4ZqwY8AMKK7Q/viewform]. Accurate submissions will be awarded with cheers and an exclusive badge for your contribution!  Thank you! - Note: To ensure your privacy, please know that all information submitted through the form will be kept in strict confidence. We will not share your submissions publicly, and any data used for the local support system will be anonymized to protect your identity.
