Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)

Cadence March 21st, 2015

Welcome to the official forum thread for the Social Soldiers! Im glad youre here; youre amazing, and Im glad youre part of the community.

Introduction

The Social Soldiers project was created with the intent on eliminating the stigma that comes along with mental illness on social media, guiding those who are depressed/having a hard time/need someone to talk to right here to 7CupsOfTea. As Laura explained in her lovely thread right here, we need to be here for people who may feel as though they have no other place to turn.

What are Social Soldiers?

Social Soldiers are people that use 7Cups-designated social media to guide people in the right direction, hopefully leading them to the site where they can talk to someone who truly cares. They use the handles Twitter, Reddit and/or Tumblr, and check the tags for depression, or self harm, or anything along those lines.

Who can be a Social Soldier?

Anyone! Thats the beauty of this project; literally anyone can get involved with it.

What isnt a Social Soldier?

Sharing your own personal social media with other members/listeners.
Someone that shares their personal social media in this thread.

Just to debunk a question that may be asked, you can totally share your referral link on your personal social media handles, however we do ask that you dont share your personal social media handle here. If you have a big following on Twitter, and youd rather use your personal account to spread the word, thats totally okay, just do not share with other members/listeners your personal account. If you have any questions on this, feel free to PM me.

I was doubting about becoming a listener of not. After a few chats I realized how good do you feel after helping other persons.

I've always wanted to help people. I can't believe 7 Cups of Tea has given me that platform. I am SO grateful and happy. I can gain skills and do all sorts of things here, i am truly thankful.

Thank you 7 cups! :)

Sorry if this has been answered before, but can someone become a Social Soldier thru Instagram and facebook? I don't really use twitter/reddit/tumblr. Thank you!

@Cadence This is a great idea! 7 cups is a great community and a resting shelter against the world. I'm sure many people are seeking this but don't know whwre to turn to. Creating awareness to spread the words is highly encouraged! :)

Hi! What should I do as a Social soldier? I'd love to help. Should I just share on a media? thanks

EIise April 24th, 2017

I think this website should definitly be more known than that! I've never heard about it and tho I've many many searched about depression, anxiety... And try to find some help. And finally one day I randomly ended up here. I'm so grateful to have discovered this amazing community, I'll definitly share the website with my relatives or strangers struggling, thanks to everyone involved here, an amazing job is made here ♥
