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'm just confused as to wth these forum things are so..
I really love this site. People with a lot of energy a lot of love to share. Its just beautiful :)
7 cups is a great site.
I actually learn a lot just by going through the site. It has taught me a lot, I find myself here a lot, I reccommend it to anyone.
I was able to convince a close friend to seek help on 7cups, instead of reaching out to the same 2 friends for help all of the time. They say it was helpful getting their problems looked at from a new perspective and anonymously. :)
because I myself have been through many problems and learnt many lessons I felt that I had to help others who may have gone through the same problems but had nobody to turn to
I feel the same as a lot of the replies here!
7 cups help me for awhile and I decide to give back and become a listener myself and now I am and I've been spreading the word about this site and people listened my friend joined
I told close friends about 7 cups and will tell many more. especially those that need support!
I'm more than happy to have become a part of 7 cups fam! I'm sure the experience is going to be pretty amazing with my fellow listeners!
Looking forward to days of positivity :)
7 cups is for everyone
