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

- 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.

Yes, I would like to apply for this, but I am wondering about the times for the course Huddle. I have started a new job 5 days a week from 10 am to 1 pm. Do You have any idea of the time frame? I would hate to lose out for not being available. Please PM me with your answer if you don't mind.❤️
Submitted! Not sure I made it in time for these sessions but I hope so!
@frenchmarbles I’d love to join, I think if could really help me work through the stuff I’m dealing with

If I may make a suggestion; I would really enjoy seeing a discussion (huddle) group on first responders, medical professionals, and ancillary medical professionals. Those of us who work in medicine and healthcare could really use these services, and the benefits would be extremely useful. I know there is a group of healthcare professionals who are petitioning for resources here on 7 Cups. I have supported this effort. Thank you for listening to me. xandia 😷❤️💉🏥
@xandia Hi there, I love this idea! We will surely take it into consideration. Did you know we recently also launched a Growth Path/Self-Help Guide for first responders? You can try it out here
