7 Cups Huddles: Sign Up to Participate in a Closed Group!

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to test a new type of group support which we have called Huddles. This new type of group is inspired by research indicating that recurring group meet-ups - where the same participants meet up regularly to chat about common issues/interests for 8 weeks - can be helpful for mental health.

What are Huddles?

A Huddle is a closed group where the same participants meet up to provide continuous support and social connection to each other over multiple weeks.

Goals and Benefits

  • Feel less alone and more supported
  • Explore issues in more depth
  • Learn from other participants
  • Receive consistently high-quality listening support
Structure of a Huddle
A huddle will have 10 members and a facilitator as well as a co-facilitator. Facilitators are trained listeners/leaders who will be facilitating the huddle and ensuring that it remains a safe, effective space. Different huddles will meet at different times and days for 8 weeks. Each huddle will focus on one topic and last for either 60 or 90 minutes. Our initial huddle groups include the following topics and times:

Huddle Name

Meeting Day(s)

Time

Relationship Stress 1

Mondays

8-9 PM EDT

Relationship Stress 2

Mondays and Fridays

10 AM - 11:30 AM EDT

Anxiety Support 1

Tuesdays

8-9 AM EDT

Anxiety Support 2

Tuesdays and Saturdays

6-7:30 PM EDT

Mindfulness Support 1

Mondays

1-2:30 PM EDT

Mindfulness Support 2

Tuesdays and Saturdays

12 PM - 1 PM EDT


We are now recruiting members for these different huddles - users who will not get accepted at this time will remain on our waiting list, and we aim to launch more huddles soon.

Who Can Sign-Up?

Are you interested in being a huddle participant to experience powerful discussions and closer interactions with users? This opportunity might interest you if you:

  • Are a member who is ready to commit to 8-weeks of exploring the huddle topic that you choose - both new and older members can sign up!
  • Are available to attend all the huddle meetings - please note that participants will lose their participating privileges if they do not show up for the sessions.
  • Are impacted by the available huddle topics and feel like the huddle experience can benefit you.
  • Are interested in and able to share your own story and growth while participating in a group wherein users are also exploring a similar topic. As a huddle user, you will be asked to support other huddle users, ask supportive questions, or share reflections regarding your personal experiences as well as reflections that may benefit the group.
  • Note that because this is a trial to explore the potential of such closed groups, we will ask for feedback at different stages. Your feedback will be used by admins to improve this feature and will always be valued.

Interested? Fill out the sign-up form here.

Please note that we will be officially conducting the Huddles starting June 27th - we will update this post if the launch gets postponed.

Note: We will be launching several other closed groups soon! Feel free to suggest topics that you would like to participate in a group for (or that you think we should cater for)!

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Hi, how do I change the group I chose when I first signed up? I found out today that I'm busy with a medical appointment on the dates for the 1 Huddle so I want to change for the 2 for the same group/subject.

Thanks 🌻💖
