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.

Keep up the great work! Up until last night - I never knew this site existed! Im shocked too! I hope to spread the word to as many people as possible! Love the community here!
Thank you 7 Cups!
I love 7cups thanks for everything. Too long to explain. Too grateful to put it into words
Hello, I just wanted to say that being a listerner is one of the most fulling thing I have done. This site is amazing! I have told everyone who will listen to utilze 7CUPS!
I'm a noob listener... Although I haven't been here for so long, I find that helping people is incredibly fulfilling.
7 Cups is such an amazing thing, and I hope that with time it continues to florish and grow as a community.
I'm finishing up my first day here on 7 Cups and i'm extremely grateful to have found this site. I love being a listener and I love that it challenges me to step outside my comfort zone; I'm often affected by social anxiety and find it difficult to initiate conversations with new people. 7 Cups is helping me realize that by attempting to put that anxiety aside, I'm actually tackling it and helping people get through things much greater than I am currently experiencing. I love this site so far and hope to grow more on my journey here!
I have already learned so much more about myself through becoming a listener. This process will even improve my own relationships... this is great for everyone involved.
Hello. Here i am, just trying to be someone a little better, one hearing at a time.
I'm glad to be a Listener on 7cups.It has made a huge impact on my life.
Hello! This is my first day on 7 cups
@welcome to 7 cup!
