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.

To all the listeners.

You're doing amazing and I'm proud of you❀

the greatest lesson I have learnt here is that listening works better than advising. Most of times we need someone to listen and help us explore our abilities to solve our own problems, it gives us power to control our own lives. 7 cups is everything about that

I love listening here on 7cups. It is such a great experience and really fulfilling.

Moonellie February 4th, 2018

Hey everybody :)

I'm still learning a lot of things here, but i'm really happy that i found this site, it's great to know that lots of "common people" have the chance to help someone that they don't even know and make them feel better about themselves and their lives.

I'm new here as well... I'm slowly learning the ropes and completing more "certifications" that the site has to offer. I hope to see you around! :D
