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 started on 7 Cups less than a week ago but, I've already have learned so much. I'm able to be a better friend now because I'm better equipped to help them when they are experiencing difficult feelings. I'm so excited to continue learning more!
I became a listener recently. So far I've been having a wonderful journey here. Everyone that I have talk to has been so nice. I will try my best to be the best listener I can be and help as my people as I can.
When life gets hards and I feel down and sad, I come here. I listen to anyone out there going through the same that I sometimes go through. I try my best to make them feel better and smile, and knowing that I was the reason someone smiled, makes me smile! I gain my confidence when I listen attentively to a member. I feel alive and energized when a fellow member gives me a 5 start review and gives great feedback. Basically, being a listener in this awesome place makes me so happy. Positive vibes sorround me whenever I come here. I wanna thank everyone of this entire community for being here and Seven Cups for being this amazing place! Love you all! β€οΈπ
