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

Im so glad I found this app I've already shared it with 2 friends who are going through similar issues. I've also made new acquaintances through this app.!
i actually came here for a little perspective. my first listener was so bad that i joined as a listener and that did the trick for me. helping others can help yourself love yourself so you can love others.
Hi, I've been a listener for a couple of weeks bow so I've been helping others here, I've been applying what I've learnt here to my outside life as well. I have also been working on myself. A lot of work, but I'm looking forward to seeing results :)
i came across this site because i was seeking help. i ended up signing up as a listener, and there is nothing that helps me more than helping others and at the same time, helping myself. being a psychology student, i have gained knowledge as well as confidence. I am truly, truly, grateful for 7Cups.
Hey I tried to click the link to look at the manual and for some reason google says I don't have access to it. I'm using the same email that I use for 7cups. Any ideas about what may be going on?
cool :)
I have recommended many people to this app when theyve had issues they are uncomfortable talking with family ir ftiends about. All have said amazing things.
7cups has helped me so much. It is truly a gift. I have felt significantly better since using this site.
7cups is really a awesome place
7 cups is amazing. I shared with all my friends on facebook and now a few of them have come here to chat with listeners, or have become listeners themselves. I am so glad I found this app in my own time of need.
