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 really enjoyed helping people from all around the world with 7cups :)
7 cups is an amazing site to everyone and am enjoying my stay here.
Loved the way whole business model revolves around helping people in need <3
I feel like 7 Cups of Tea is really helping me listen but also overcome my own issues and improve my well-being.
I'm really glad I found this site!
I've been both listener and talker. 7 cups is such an incredible outlet. I'm happy to be apart of such a supportive community.
I'll be honest, I don't have any social media. So instead I tell anyone that will listen in person. This site helped me through a tough time, and I know it helps others, so I'm always talking about it!
@Zaya900 social media is overrated and living a present existance is very important. I admire your choice.
7cups is the best website on this Earth! So many people are hurting everyday, becoming a listener has helped me see that, and this app helps a lot of them. Everyone on here is caring and sooo nice. Its amazing to see so many AMAZING people on here. Its nice to know that some people actually care about other people. ❤️ We have a listener for EVERY problem that a person is going through and THAT is also awesome!
7 cups of tea is a really helpful website that helps teens and adults in an unique way
I really love it!
Yay Social Soldiers. Getting stuff done. <3
Just put my referral link on my social media!
