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 have joined 7 cups lately. 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! 😊
7 Cup is a wonderful app! You can have it on your phone and always able to stay connected with all the people you meet!
Hoo hoo hoo
Welcome to 7cups I have been a listener now for a week and if you have questions please let me know.
"You are not alone" Beautiful NAMI's slogan, I loved it.
i joined 7cups 5-6 days ago, i didn't know that listening and helping others could be this addictive, i'm proud to say that i'm becoming a listening addict lol, but really i feel that we're the soldiers of god on earth, who lives for people's feelings and making them feel good about themselves, i'm so happy that i found 7cups :)
This should have been done when I was 13. Keep going!!
Hey there
Hi all!
First of all welcome to all new members and listeners.
I've joined 7 cups last november, so havent been on here for that long yet. but within these 3 months i have learned a lot and have grown, big time. I find it completely amazing that 7 cups exists, because this is just such a wonderful way to connect with people.
some people are struggling a lot, and it feels so good to be able to help them even just by giving them some comfort, at the same time its really nice way to get to know new people, and see situations in a different perspective :)
also for the members and guests, its a very good way to be able to get some things of your chest and feel less lonely for a bit, by trying different listeners they will get to learn different ways or ideas to cope with something hard. and at the same time it gives a lot of ease when the listeners are open minded, and wont judge
I really enjoy being a listener on 7 cups, and I will love to keep doing this for a big amount of time :D
and at the meantime, I would like to thank all the listeners, mentors, members and all the others, here on 7 cups, we're all doing an amazing job, and we should all be proud of that :)
Greetings to you all :)
Welcome to 7 Cups! My name is Nathalie and I am an LGBTQ+ listener here!
