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.

Why isnt facebook one of the options?
@DareYouToTry
We don't use Facebook currently on the Social Soldiers team because there are a lot of privacy issues concerning it. The way Facebook is structured, it would be harder to do what we do - especially since we don't use any personal social media accounts, but rather ones made specifically and solely for the purpose of the Social Soldiers Team.
If you have any other questions regarding this, please feel free to PM me! ♥
I think this is amazing

@Jez
:)
This is such a great way of getting people to spread the word! (:
I'm so happy to be a listener on this site. I love helping people. Hope you all have a great day.
@enlightenedTouch62 you too!
It takes guts to be a soldier. You have to pretend to be calm although you're chaotic deep inside. You have to pretend that you're not scared although your bones are shivering inside. You have to pretend that you can handle everything although you're destroyed deep inside.
I became a listener because I want to share my experiences to others. I want them to learn from my mistakes so nobody else has to suffer the way I did. I wanted to make people feel special, loved and cared for. But by joining 7cups, I have earned more than I gave.
I am not the true soldier here. You are. Those who talked to me about their problems, thank you for making me realize that I shouldn't give on mine, cause you're not giving up on yours. To those who are here right now, in need of help, thank you for making me consider every other human being in this world. Guests and members, thank you for teaching me not to be self-centered and always look out for other people.
hey! here to help lgbtiq+ individuals :) hit me up
It's a great idea
