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.

What if I don't have any forms of the social media on the list? I got Google+ and thats it :(

Pleiades924 August 4th, 2016

It says "Use these forms to record your work each week: twitter ,tumblr , & reddit." I only use Facebook and Pinterest (somtimes.) I do paste my referral link to some of my other social profiles from lesser known sites and I tell a lot of my friends about it in conversation. I have my own group on Facebook called Awaken Appalachia, so I definitely will be sharing plenty of info about Seven Cups there.

Melody293 August 4th, 2016

ListeningEar924 August 5th, 2016

I've shared links to this website on my Facebook and Pinterest page! Hopefully, I can talk enough about this community so that it can help someone else just as much as it's helped me!
