Changes to Group Chat Structure to Foster Community
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 29th
...See more Hi everyone, We have recently noticed a decline in support and participation in our group chats. While we appreciate everyone's contributions, we have found that the low activity level in different group chats has discouraged many members from engaging in conversations. Many enter the quieter chats and when they see it quiet, they tend to leave which is doing no good to offer them much-needed support.  To ensure that our group chats remain vibrant and inclusive support spaces for everyone, we are making a few adjustments: * Group Chats’ Pop-up Status: The following group chats will temporarily return to pop-up status. This means these group chats will be open during scheduled discussions or as per your request. To request these chats to open, these requirements need to be fulfilled:  * At least 3-5 participants are willing to participate in a specific group chat.  * Or, they can become room support or discussion leaders for specific group chats and host at least 2 weekly sessions.  * If you meet either of the requirements, you can inform a community moderator on shift to help you open a group chat for a specific period (let’s say 60 minutes). After completion of discussion, the room will be closed.    * Re-evaluation Period: We will monitor participation and reassess the situation every month.  * The group chats return to popup chats:  * Relationship Support * LGBTQ Support * Listener Community Room Also, we updated the rotation group chat schedule after assessing the participation & support levels. The new rotational schedule is as follows: * Monday & Tuesday: Loneliness Support * Wednesday: Anxiety Support * Thursday & Friday: Relationship Support * Saturday & Sunday: Trauma Support We hope this change will encourage more active support and engagement and make it easier for everyone to stay connected. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  Thank you.   @heather225

...See more Hello teens, Welcome to the Playground!  We are introducing a new group chat called: The Playground to fuel and support the games and lighthearted activities demand. If you are also looking for a fun escape filled with laughter and friendly competition then, this is your one-stop space for all things wordplay and games. We have everything from classic alphabet games and mind-bending trivia to hilarious Mad Libs and word scrambles.  Also if you are new to any game, we are all about creating a welcoming space where everyone can learn, play, and have a blast together. The rules of participation are simple:  * Anyone can participate and ensure to be nice, and respectful to all.  * Observe before play. If you are new to a game, ensure to observe how others are playing and keep your questions to be asked at the end of the session.  * Keep the competition healthy and in the team/ game spirit.  * Be yourself, have fun, and enjoy. A big shout-out and thank you to @CommunityModIris for the feedback and idea of bringing this chat together.  What are you waiting for?  Come say hi in our playground!
Room Supporter: Updated Requirements and Application
by ASilentObserver

 October 26th
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am glad to announce that we are making some changes to the requirements to become Room Supporter! What is a Room Supporter? Room Supporter is one of the key roles in the Group Support Chatroom. This role focuses on providing quality listening and support to community members in the group chat rooms. Room Supporters foster healthy and supportive conversations in the chat rooms to ensure everyone entering the room feels welcomed, empathized, validated, comfortable, and included in the group. This role is suited for both members and listeners because our members are also amazing and supportive listeners in the chat rooms to provide support to each other. How do I become a Room Supporter? Step 1. Requirements to Become a Room Supporter A. For a LISTENER, Check your profile to make sure you meet the following requirements: * No “Newbie” badge i.e. being a listener for 4+ weeks * Have 2+ Group Support Chats** B. For a MEMBER, Check your profile to make sure you meet the following requirements: * No “Newbie” badge i.e. being a member for 4+ weeks * Have the “Supportive Smile” badge * Complete the “Compassion Course [https://docs.google.com/a/7cups.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbuGsqFMbaKWtCoC1WHaCJfaKfwfI8YZ62CsqTI2BzqVNwDg/viewform]” ** If you cannot see the Group Support Chat rooms, please ensure you have [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/NewCriteriatoAccessGroupChatsLiveNow_281153/]Checked out the new criteria required to unlock the rooms. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/CommunityManagersOffice_2008/NewCriteriatoAccessGroupChatsLiveNow_281153/] **Listener Reputation [https://www.7cups.com/about/faqBadgesCheers.php] (listener badges, cheers, and compassion hearts) **Member Reputation [https://www.7cups.com/about/memberReputation.php] (member badges, growth points, and compassion hearts) Step 2: If you have met the above requirements, fill out the Application Form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSetyJ7jp7W52-EIpqvFYLhfmpsgTW4BbzUwmi9r22OQ9AdH8w/viewform]. It takes 2-3 working days to review the application. On a successful application, you will receive the training invitation to complete it. Please note, while you wait to hear back on your application, continue participating in the chatroom & supporting the community. It will help you to become a wonderful room supporter. Step 3: Once you are contacted by a Group Support Leader with the training invitation, please read the guides carefully and complete the training. Step 4: If you passed the training, you will be listed as a “Room Supporter” on the leader board of focused sub-communities. You will be notified 1-1 by the Group Support Leader. Step 5: Visit your focused chat rooms and get to know your community members and start supporting them. Once you are a Room Supporter for at least a month & if you meet the other requirements, you can then apply to become a Chatroom Moderator! Please check out this thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/GroupSupportTeamCommunication_2139/BecomeaChatroomModeratorInformationonCommCenteredGlobal_112280/1/] for more information on this exciting opportunity. Who would be a good fit for this role? It is suitable for both members and listeners who are... * Compassionate, Kind, Welcoming, Non-judgmental, and Open-minded * Willing to make a difference in someone’s day through group listening and support * Willing to collaborate, cooperate and communicate with other team members * Acknowledge and validate their individual needs as well as the needs of the participants in the chatroom Role and Expectations of a Room Supporter * To proactively participate in community building with members, listeners, and moderators * To create a compassionate, supportive, safe environment in the group chat room * To foster healthy & supportive conversations in the chatroom. To do this, a room supporter could host: * Check-ins in the focused group chat rooms * Host/ Co-host at least 1 hour per team you apply to support (maximum of 2 teams) * To support members in the chat room through active group listening. * To communicate, collaborate, and cooperate with team members and the community * To brainstorm ideas, suggestions to problem solve a challenge, and concerns with the group support team and community Thanks for all your help, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Relaunch: Project Group Support Buddy- 3.0
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 October 27th
...See more Hello all,   I hope everyone is doing well. I am excited to announce the relaunch of the Group Support Buddy program. The buddy program is one of the integral aspects of group support leadership, but it didn’t reach its full potential due to one or more challenges. One of the challenges was syncing the availability of the buddy who offers support and guidance and one who seeks guidance. As we are a global team and due to other variables, it isn't easy to sync the availability.  With this in mind, we made a few changes to restructure the program.  How would the new process work?  It involves a support request form that any group support leader can submit with their concerns or challenges related to the group support. Then, one of the experienced group support leaders can reach out to help and guide them through the issue within 24 hours.  Who is a group support leader?  A group support leader is any room supporter, chatroom moderator, host, or discussion leader.  Here is a brief comparison of what new versions have:  Comparison of Old & New Group Support Buddy Program Comparison Points Old Version New Version How to request support? 1-1 through private message Form-based Response Time 48 hours Within 24 hours Who will offer guidance & support Paired with a dedicated big buddy Anyone in the Group supports leadership to ensure coverage and timely support Who can seek support A new group support leader, ex: new room supporter, moderator Both new and existing group support leaders Who can become a buddy One who completed at least 1-2 weeks in their role. At least a month in their role Buddying timeframe First 2 weeks from starting the new role. Anytime in the given role. Questions can come up at any point of being in the role. Here is the group support buddy request (GSBR) form that you can save and bookmark. (Form link) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfc9tR-XeP0TpqJ4RsTF1x3WsDEbaseBsu1ZJ3tP5bS6l9bvQ/viewform] For ease and quick access, the form will also be available under the Member Group Support section [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training/leadership/fdc3639b1dcb416bb0dc1033dcb0831b/] of the Become a Leader page and under the Resources section [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/] of the Group Support Community. Thank you all group support leaders for going above and beyond in their efforts to support the community in the group support chats. Let’s continue to support each other and in our roles to learn and grow together.  If you have any questions, please feel free to message Suryansh [http://7cups.com/@Suryansh]or me aka (ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentobserver])

Important Announcement: Team on Hiatus
by sophiasanae
Last post
 January 1st, 2023
...See more Hello everyone! After careful consideration, I have decided to put the TOZ Group Support Team on a temporary hiatus. This is due to a lack of active leaders/hosts, and a general decline in participation due to the holiday season and other factors. However, never fear! When we return, we will most likely restructure the Group Support Team to create the necessary improvements for success. So, what does being on hiatus mean? - Hosting is suspended: You will not be able to host under your role of TOZ discussion host. However, you are welcome to explore other hosting options on 7 Cups, including Pop-Up hosting if you're still interested in being involved. - Applications will not be processed: You are welcome to apply to be a TOZ discussion host, but just know that no applications will be processed until we return, meaning you may not hear back for a while. - Script-editing/writing is suspended: Since the script-writing team falls under the Group Support team, similar restrictions apply. If script-writers are still interested in catching up on/continuing to write scripts, they may on their own time, but they will not be edited until we return. There will also be no new script-writing assignments. For more updates and news for when we return, please keep following this thread! Also, please keep in mind that these updates apply only to Group Support, and not the TOZ as a whole. For questions, please reach out to @sophiasanae. Tagging TOZ leaders: @Mel @Estrellitaa @DylanxYuzu @JasmineFlower222 @Littlestrawberry222 @SparklingSeashells @azuladragon34 @mamtasha22
2022 Monthly Blasts for Discussion Leaders

Last post
 November 5th, 2022
...See more January Monthly Blast Hello all! Welcome to our first monthly blast! These posts are meant to give a recap of the month's events and talk about updates and announcements for the upcoming month. Monthly Recap: We hit a record of 25 sessions signed up and hosted by individual hosts! Congratulations everyone, I'm so proud of all your hard work. 2022 is off to an amazing start! All hosts will be receiving cheers for the sessions they hosted shortly. To see how many cheers you earned, check out the tracking page on the TOZ dashboard! Monthly Shoutout: Our monthly shoutout goes to @FallenStarss for hosting 9 sessions this month! And congrats to the runner up, @29amy for hosting 7 (and back to back sessions too!). Please congratulate @FallenStarss and @29amy by replying to this post! Reminders: Please note that for sessions to be marked "cancelled" on the sign-up sheet, your co-host and @sophiasanae must be notified at least 48 hours in advance. If I do not receive a message about a cancellation within the timeframe, your session will be marked missed instead. Also, please do not forget to change the status of your session! I know we are still getting adjusted to this new system, but it is super important to change the status of your session to "completed," or "missed" after your discussion's time slot has passed. This helps us make sure the tracking page is accurate. If I message you about changing the status of your session and do not hear back within a reasonable timeframe, it will be marked "missed" and you will not receive any cheers for it. Updates: All member daily scripts have officially been updated! Whoohoo! They have been re-formatted, updated, and the correct links have been added. The link to the member daily session scripts has been updated on the February sign-ups page of the TOZ dashboard. Icebreaker Hour and Quiz/Games Night have official scripts now, so if you're hosting these sessions, please make sure to use them! The script for "Remembering Our Purpose" has moved to be with all the other discussion scripts. It was about time, since it is a discussion after all! You can find it on the TOZ sign-up page by clicking on "Discussion Scripts" under the "Links" column. We are still working on updating all the discussion scripts, although this will be an ongoing project since there are so many of them! We need your help! If you see any scripts that are outdated or need to be edited, please add a comment on the Discussion Scripts sheet and note the reason why it needs to be looked out. Then message @sophiasanae. Finally, remember that the discussion scripts do not have the correct links in the conclusion paragraphs. This is because they are old scripts!

Remember to message @sophiasanae if you sign up for any discussions so they can be Tockified! For member daily sessions, this step is not necessary.

We need a support program for overpressured students.

...See more I've only been a listener for a month or 2, but it seems like at least 3/4 of the people I talk to are suffering from the same thing: their parents are over-pressuring them to get perfect grades. They are always depressed, many times self harm, giving up hope about their future, and just emotionally abused overall. I propose that the Group community come up with a subcommunity and program to address this issue. Some of the things I feel should be included: * It is NOT necessary to get perfect grades. * People in general are not perfect, and it's irrational to expect them to be. * You are valued and loved regardless of what grades you get in school. * School should be fun, and you should have time to enjoy life outside of studying. * You should be free to choose what academic subjects you want to study because it's your life! Parents have no right to choose which path we study, just like they have NO right to tell us who to marry, or which gender we are, or which gender we are attracted to. * Any parents to violate these things are committing emotional abuse. Is this something that the Group team can look into? I dont know if you've taken these chats before but they are almost all the same set of stresses. And yet I dont see anything already in place to help them. Kids are being abused in the name of academic success, and we need to do something about it!
