.
After the successful completion of our first ever Huddles season, we are excited to launch season 2 with many more closed groups to participate in! This season, we have also introduced one teen huddle group!
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 (called Huddlers) 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 session will last for one hour, in a closed private group chatroom at 7 Cups. Users will also have access to a Huddler forum space.

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 we continue 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.
Please note that we aim to launch these Huddle groups within 2 weeks. We look forward to your interest!
