Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)

Cadence March 21st, 2015

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 post stuff on my fb from the 7cups fb every now and then,as well as discuss 7 cups. I have even talked to some people privately about their issues and 7 cups has definitley helped me better communicate with people. I've also referred people on here.

I am still waiting to be approved as a social soldier and hope I get the chance to be involved :) I have already posted on my own tumblr about the site and why others should use it. http://quiet-is-violentx.tumblr.com/post/147008178214/someone-to-talk-to-online-therapy-free

Hey Everyone! Im looking for more people to follow on tumblr with my 7Cups account, since it is a bit quiet on my page. My account is @7cupsofkatie and I most likely will follow you back. I could really use some more 7Cup soldiers in my home page :)

Its really fun and relaxing heling others and at the same tie figuring out things about yourself
