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 needed someone to talk to and I found this site, the listener was so helpful that I wanted to help others by listening to them and hopefully make them feel better

7 cups has changed my life. I love having a safe place to talk and be able to help others as well.

This place is so incredible. What a gift it is to be able to just listen and provide support for people that are struggling with really heavy things. I believe that it will help those who feel isolated and unheard.

I first found 7 Cups a few days ago, when I was desperately looking for someone to hear me out.

I think I have committed one of the biggest mistakes in my life. My first ever listener (too bad I was not able to note her name) was so kind and compassionate. I cried a lot when I was chatting with her, but my burden sort of felt lighter with that. After that, I immediately wanted to join and become a listener.

Although I am still learning the ropes around here, I feel so happy that I am able to help others even in the smallest of ways. I feel a sense of fulfillment helping others heal, and I too, feel that I am a day closer to healing each time.

I am honored to be a part of this nook of the Internet.heart
