Founded in 2013 by Glen Moriarty, 7 Cups is a global online mental health platform connecting people in emotional distress with trained active listeners as well as affordable therapy options. The 7 Cups community is largely based on volunteer leadership. Its impact has led to several positive research outcomes including those published in the Journal of Mental Health, Journal of Medical Internet Research as well as the Journal of Internet Interventions. Ensuring compassion on a global scale, the 7 Cups community has also published a book entitled “7 Cups for the Searching Soul†which draws on proven research, healing traditions, and other lessons based on its status as the world’s largest emotional support system.
