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 shared your Partners program with a psychologist who might be able to use that platform to further his projects and business :) Great work, 7Cups!
I am a member of an anxiety forum. In my signature I have a link to 7 Cups.

Hi everyone, I hope I am allowed to share this link?
I recently discovered this site. (7cups) Where anyone can chat with a trained listener about any issues they wish. The listener provides you with compassion and reflective questioning to help you become more empowered in finding your own answers. The site also has these fabulous self help sections and you can create your own progress path.
I truly believe that coming from dysfunctional backgrounds and experiencing the traumas that we all have in this group. Starting to look at ways of moving forward are vital. Check it out and I hope you all find it as useful as I do :) x <3
hello how is every one
