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.

So, I did spread the word about 7️⃣ Cups and you know what, I was able to get 56 referral close clicks in a day and have made two to three people join the site as a member too. I am glad I could help people through this! This is an amazing website!
I joined 7 Cups with the intent to help and so far I think I have been doing a great job! I did not know people were rating me and leaving me reviews but they were and I thought that was great that I was actually helping people and they were actually appreciating my help. 7 Cups is awesome.
7 Cups of Tea, by Lu Tong (795 - 835 CE)
The first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island.
7 cups is a great way for people to receive help when they can't find help from those around them. I tell people to use it when they are in need, and in general it's just a great program that's doing better for the world.
7cups is such an awesome way to receive anonymous but heartfelt support! I've used it several times when I needed someone to talk to and I've helped other people on the site. Reach out to someone here if you need to. We are all willing to listen. :)
Good idea
Really 7 cups is a very nice initiative to help
