Always Here Project Launch

Hello everyone! I hope that you all are doing well. We’re excited to announce the rebranded launch of the Always Here - Support Room 24/7 Project originally launched in 2021 and received positive feedback. 

Background and Reasoning

Unfortunately, efforts to revive the project in 2022 were not as successful as hoped. We are trying again in a rebranded way with assurance that people get a consistent and reliable experience. As it’s been a couple of years, most of the previous hosts and some leaders are no longer active so we are starting fresh but I will tag previous hosts / leaders just in case they’re willing and interested to join us again with helping out in SR!

Having spent a lot of time in the group chat rooms, it’s terrible to see people being ignored due to the sheer volume of messages that sometimes occur, or being faced with complete emptiness as they enter the room. 

We can help shift this issue, which by all means is no one’s fault but instead a product of various different factors. 

Project Overview and Host Requirements 

Members and listeners, teens and adults, can sign up to provide a half-hour or an hour per week (or more) of a listening ear for those in the Support Room 24/7. There’s no script, just natural responses and presence, supportive resources for hosts will be found within the host Sheets dashboard which will be shared within PMs after successfully applying.   

On-spot hosting is available too. Whenever you spend at least 30 minutes in SR you can be rewarded and receive recognition for your hard work through peer feedback. Just contact me (@Kieran000) to join the team if you can’t stick to fixed weekly times.

Requirements:

Currently there are no requirements to join the team, however performance and any issues are monitored closely when they arise, to ensure everyone is receiving positive support. 

You will be awarded 50 cheers per half-hour that you host and the quota is one session per week to remain active on the team. 

Sign Up

Please use this form to sign up to become a host and help us improve the support available to members of our community within the Support Room 24/7. 

Once applied, you will be contacted by a project leader who will provide further information and be your point of contact for anything relating to the role unless encouraged otherwise! If you don’t hear anything within 4 days of applying, please do send me a message.

Thank you all very much for reading, and helping out in the rooms, also for getting through your own struggles that may still be ongoing. Let’s make the Support Room 24/7 a comfortable place for everyone to seek quality support. Looking forward to any applications.
