...See more Hello everyone,  Thank you to everyone participating in our "Share Your Gratitude" event. Your heartfelt messages of gratitude filled our hearts with warmth and inspiration. We received 190+ submissions of gratitude shares and it was encouraging to see how our community practices gratitude.  Gratitude is an emotion involving thankfulness and appreciation for the good things in one's life. It is about recognizing and acknowledging the positive aspects of our experiences, relationships, and circumstances. It can be expressed in various ways, such as through words, actions, or simply through inner reflections.    Let's continue to spread positivity and gratitude, one kind act at a time. Your efforts making a difference and we appreciate your help and support doing that.   PS: If you are about to age up, please know you are not alone, We are all here to help you find support and resources.

Cupsgiving 2024: Gratitude Train for Group Support
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 2 days 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

...See more Get Started Room Supporting on 7Cups Need to know info for new room supporters as well as a refresher for existing room supporters. Duties and Expectations As a room supporter, one should have high warmth and high expectations [https://www.7cups.com/about/culture.php]. The aim of the room supporter is to foster and guide supportive and compassionate chats among the members and listeners in the chat rooms. As a room supporter, it is important you proactively engage and participate in these chats to build your face as a friendly face and a helping hand in the chat rooms. So, everyone feels welcomed and supported. As a room supporter, your essential checklist: * Welcome, everyone who joins the chatroom and makes them feel welcomed, included, and comfortable. * Foster healthy, compassionate, and supportive conversations. * Share resources and support chat room moderators to enforce chatroom and community guidelines in the room. You will be successful in this role if you: * Join your focused support rooms often and consistently to build yourself as a reliable group support leader. * Welcome every entrant with warmth and compassion to make them feel included in the group * Show compassion, respect, warmth, support, and care to everyone in the chatroom. * Foster good conversations by asking helpful and thoughtful questions. Acknowledging and validating one’s experiences and emotions. * Maintain a level of professionalism and a reminder to all to follow the chatroom guidelines. * Familiar with the chatroom guidelines and support the chatroom moderators to enforce them whenever needed. * Be observant to see who all is participating and who needed a bit more encouragement to participate and work to adjust the environment as per the needs. First-week essential checklist There are several things you can do immediately to give your assigned chatroom a leg up. Try taking a week and doing everything in the list below to help your community's odds for success. * Join & Introduce yourself Jumping into your focused chat room as a group support leader (Room Supporter) is intimidating. It's up to you to create a welcoming environment. So start with introducing yourself to the members in the chatroom and try to greet & welcome and do a quick check-in with at least 10 members this week. If you are struggling for participation, inviting members from other chat rooms can help. * Always remember, room supporter is more about supporting everyone. Let’s try to do our best to listen to everyone and give them space to talk about their thoughts and emotions. If anyone is not engaging, focus on them and encourage and invite them to make them feel included. You have this amazing gift of listening to acknowledge and validate someone. Use it often! * Demo compassion, acceptance, validation, always! Your attitude and how you participate and support will matter in setting the tone of the chatroom. At times, you will feel like some are not really happy with what you are doing but some would always feel encouraged, inspired, and motivated to try and go for things they didn't do in the first place. Just because of your efforts to demonstrate compassion, acceptance, and validation to everyone. * Join the conversation If you see an interesting discussion in another chat room, visit and participate there and share about your chat room as well. Make sure to let them know when they can join your chat room. * Keep going! Keep your chatroom active by growing your chatroom and supporting throughout the month along with your fellow room supporter and chat room moderator team. If you've already done all of the above, you're off to a great start. Building a supportive and healthy chatroom with great group dynamics takes time and dedication. It almost never happens overnight. Don't be discouraged by slow momentum - slow and steady is the healthy path to growth for anything and everything. Fostering healthy conversation in the room The art of holding a healthy conversation can make you an influencer of your chat room. Here are a few simple tips that you could find helpful to have a dazzling conversation with the members and make them feel encouraged to come back and interact with you. * Set a purpose for your conversation. Any good conversation has an intention. Without a clear intention, it is like driving without a map. * Be gentle and compassionate as a friend. We make our first impression in the first few seconds of interacting with them. As it is text-based communication in the chatroom where they can’t hear your tone or see your gestures and body language, you need to reflect your friendliness approach in your words. * Use Conversation Openers. The hardest part of any interaction is its opener. But you don’t have to worry about it. You can start with a simple icebreaker and then start the conversation with a question or a statement about the topic you are going to discuss. * Keep the spark going. Once the conversation starts, you want to keep it going. And for that recognize who all are proactively participating and validate their thoughts, share your perspectives and invite every new entrant or a lurking participant to share their views. * Encourage them to share stories and listen. Listening is the key to fostering healthy conversations. Encourage the members to share more on their stories and listen to them. * Conclude the conversation on a positive note. Every conversation has an end due to time limitations. But, conclude the chat on a positive note so the members look forward to participating in similar conversations in the future as well. * And, have a bit of humor. A bit of humor is good for healthy conversation as it makes the chat more enjoyable and engaging for everyone. And, please remember you are interesting! You have lots of great things to say and share. Bring your best self to a conversation and your members will find it captivating. Welcoming new members To grow your chatroom, new members are the key. Here new members are not those who joined just a few days ago but also those who are around for a while but joining the chatroom for the first time or after a long time. Whenever there is a new member in the chatroom, greet and welcome them. Share a resource that they may find helpful, like, Members Welcome Pack, <------ Clickable) [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CL9Yu_6zixlapOjdrhCgKLy9JN5wY3HWdrGH7PIO2WI/edit#]and encourage them to share their views, thoughts, stories with the rest of the participants. How they feel the first time will decide if they will return to the chatroom in the future too.

Room Supporter Meeting Notes January 3, 2022
by PeaceLoveandPaws
Last post
 January 22nd, 2022
...See more January 3, 2022 Room Supporters Team Meeting 1 pm ET (Adults) Sub Community Leaders Room Attendees: @Sher217, @Azalea98 @AnnaTess @MoonChild1206 Happy New Year everyone! I would like to first extend my apologies to the Teen community for being unable to host a room supporter meeting for you as promised. Severe weather in my area caused technical difficulties on my end. Please note the new times and day for Room Supporter meetings. Our weekly meeting will be held on Monday at 1 pm ET for Adults and 7 pm ET for Teens. Thank you all again for your participation in the survey for choosing meeting days and new times for the first quarter of 2022. To kick off the New Year, the question posed in the meeting was, what would you like to see from me to better support you, our amazing Room Supporters. These are the suggestions offered by the attendees. * This is just my opinion (based on conversations with others) but I think discussions on how to handle situations in a room would be helpful to new RSs to give them a chance to learn from others how they handle situations * Well, I often get asked about the progression from RS to mod so maybe running discussions on that transition might be good * If I may make another suggestion for a topic: Developing your own personal style * Tips or best practices for Room Supports on teen sides and adult sides as each side has different styles of communication. * Discussions for transitioning teens to dispel some common misconceptions about 'the other side' * In general, I think de-escalation training would be amazing for RS and mods. * I think a live training with scenarios may be useful, but since those could be hard to attend, maybe even a forum post? You could collect examples of situations from RS about situations they might have struggled in (or other leaders) to get a variety, then collect how different RS/Mods/Leaders would de-escalate? So it could be used to return to. I would like to wrap up our meeting notes by inviting each of you to please make any suggestions you might have to improve our meetings, topics you wish to discuss, and what you would like to see in 2022. As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on January 10th. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings as your time and schedule allows. @helpfuldipper @Fraz @ColorfuldogsofParadise @gregariousZebra21 @adventurousBranch3786 @Olivia210 @SoulSupporter102
