New student here :)
Hi everyone! My name is Kait and I am new to 7cups academy & to the LDP. I just wanted to post to say hi and to see if there are any other newly enrolled listeners :) Maybe we can chat or check in on our progress. I have found that I work much better with/in community rather than just on my own. So I was hoping to make some listener friends on this new journey!
A little bit about me & my listener journey: I first joined 7cups back in 2014, when I was a wee teenager. I have been off and on this site for some time now, and have held a few leadership positions, including peer supporter & a member of the care team in the past. I am new to my current leadership role as a listener discussion host, and hope to host my first discussion soon, so maybe I'll see you there!
My long term leadership goal is to become a group support mentor. After much thought and consideration, I chose this as my goal because groups are dear to my heart & bring me a true sense of community. I have recently applied to be a room supporter for the mindfulness rooms, one of my favorite communities here on 7cups, to start the pathway to chatroom mentorship. I enrolled in the program with hopes of working towards my leadership goal & also to be able to put this experience on my resume.
Anyways, I am glad to be here, thank you all for having me, and a big thank you to all of the volunteers & leaders who make this program possible, I really appreciate your hard work <3

Edit to add- The mentor track I am interested in is called "Group Support Mentor" not Chatroom mentor, oops, sometimes I get the different titles all mixed up :)
