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.

I'm new to 7 cups. I think it is a wonderful place. And I have just become a listener. I'm not very good yet. But I'm getting better. 
thank you 7 cups for being a place for people to open up and feel safe x
@AHumanJustlikeyou4429
Good luck on your new journey as a listener. Ive been listening for a while. Ive not just helped others improve but along the way, Ive improved. I am sure you will see a good difference in yourself as well, 7Cups has a way of doing that haha ^_^
I joined 7 Cups of Tea back in 2014 when I found my overwhelming passion for helping others and raising awareness about mental health. I instantly began to get into the swing of the conversations and completed training etc, however my journey through my life and self love became a rocky one and I had to take a break. Now, I am back and ready to help people more than ever. Conversating with members gives me a sense of belonging and I am fitting right back in where I left off, if not better. I still struggle with listener chats and group chat rooms, purely from a social anxiety point of view but I am tackling these issues head on!
Here's to 2018, the year I flourish.
@lucyy

I am slightly new to 7 cups and I love it. I love talking and helping people.
I have joined 7 cups two days ago. I never thought that helping people and getting a positive feedback will help me with my problems also.
Whenever i help someone and they seem to be a little bit happy, it makes me feel that kindness is the most beautiful word in this world.
Thanks to all the 7 cups listeners who not only help the members but also the listeners. It feels like a big joint family in which everyone is helping each other.
Thank you! 😊
@dtanushree Welcome! It's so great to have you on the team. The feeling of helping someone else is like nothing else. :)
