Cupsgiving 2024: Gratitude Train for Group Support
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hello all,  Group Support is a significant part of 7Cups to get support. I have been part of Group Support for 7 years and witnessed how it evolved into a strong, inclusive, and therapeutic place to feel comforted, heard, and empowered.  Here are the 5 key lessons I picked up from my personal experience in group support.  * We are the group support. Group Support is not the responsibility of one person or a handful of users to maintain its therapeutic environment. It is a collective effort and everyone is responsible and accountable for it. * Compassion drives group support. We have different demographics and experience diverse challenges in our daily lives. But it is our thoughtful participation and compassion that help everyone to feel encouraged and empowered. It is our compassion that allows us to listen to someone attentively and make them feel heard. Because we know what it feels like to be unheard.  * The problem is the path. It is the core value of our community and every time there is a challenge in the group support, everyone comes together to figure out a way to tackle the problem and go above and beyond in their efforts to ensure the support.  * Continuous scaling of the support. I know many members of the group support who initially joined to share and receive support and later became part of giving support to others. Many of them became listeners and many continued to support through their member accounts in the group support. Every time someone feels heard and comforted, it means more hands joined to support others. Many inspired by group support experiences, created offline support groups for their neighborhood to bring support to their block, city, or town.  * Group Support builds connections. Many members are regulars of the group support space and they built some healthy and meaningful connections to rely on for support and accountability buddies for each other. I like the way how group support fosters care, support, upliftment, and companionship.  Group support is the outcome of the efforts including members, listeners, and leaders in different group support roles. So as we celebrate Cupsgiving, join us to recognize the efforts of the entire group support with a few special mentions for their above-and-beyond efforts.  Group Support Moderation We would like to share our gratitude for all our group support moderators for their careful and eye-to-detail work in the group chats. Their above-and-beyond efforts in moderation help to foster an inclusive and uplifting environment in the group support for all. Their proactive presence and swift actions help to de-escalate any potential disruptions to the therapeutic environment. Some of the awesome moderators of 2024 are: * @Communitymodanne * @Communitymodwillow * @CommunitymodEver  * @Suryansh, and * @Kaylabella as the top 5 moderators for their contributions in responding to the moderator requests form. 280 out of 385 requests were responded to by them until now this year.  Some of the other names included in the list are CommunitymodEden, CommunitymodIris, Kenzolena, CommunitymodCharlie, Lou73, and so on. The entire community is grateful to you for your help and support and for giving us a safe space to participate and feel empowered and heard.  Also thank you to all users who reported and helped moderators to de-escalate the situations that required immediate attention. Thank you for helping us keeping the group support safe and inclusive for all. Some of the key mentions are  * @Greenimpulse * @Heartsandrosesandpaws * @Mytwistedsoul * @Hotaru419 * @SleepingPersonForever * @Nephiliminblack * @Disneywoman * @Apeatrice Listener Support Requests We are also grateful to all listener group chat leaders for their active presence and guidance in the Listener Group Support chats. Their contributions and help in responding to Listener Support Requests helped many listeners feel heard, supported, and guided on their queries. Some of the proactive leaders of 2024 so far are:  * @Heartsandrosesandpaws * @JustSophia * @Fuechsin * @Jenna * @LittleBirdie30 are the top 5 Listener Group Support Leaders who offered peer support, chat support, and guidance to 89 listeners out of 229 requests submitted through the Listener Support Request form until now in 2024.  Also a big shout out to all listeners who reach out with their questions and seek help and guidance. It is okay to ask questions. Questions help us to explore, learn, and grow, so thank you for taking steps to grow in your listener journey.  We will continue to add more gratitude shares for our group support leaders here in the upcoming days. If you notice anyone doing great work or you are grateful for their efforts, please join us and share your appreciation and gratitude for them.  Thank you for uplifting and empowering group support chats..  @suryansh @emmae @hopedreamlove @Lou73 @Heather225 @Justsophia @Kieran000 @Kenzolena
