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 appreciate this opportunity not only to help others, but to improve myself as well :)
I'm happy to be part of this community which focuses on making this world a better place.
This sounds awesome
Just came back from hiatus for a couple of months.. Probably almost a year, but I love 7cups a lot. I love helping people.
Like others I became a listener in 2016 then life got in the way. I'm still struggling with things but after a year I'm back and being a listener here has really helped me overcome things. Just helping others gives me such a great feeling that simply nothing else can.
This is such a wonderful, and supportive community on 7Cups! Much love to all <3
Hi Im new here. Just wanted to say hi and how fantastic 7 cups are. They helped me a lot so decided to give something back.
@Dash16 Welcome to 7Cups :)
@Dash16
Welcome to 7cups!
@Dash16
welcome :)
Just wanted to drop in and say hi! I signed on as a listener because I think that every little bit of compassion you can put into the world is worth it!
I just became a listener, and after seeing how much I've improved and can help people with my experiences, I feel a lot better about myself!
im here if anyone needs me (:
Hello everyone! I just recently became a listener here at 7 cups and I am enjoying my experience thus far. I joined because I enjoy helping others in such a kind and compassionate setting and this feels like a perfect fit for me. I am also looking into becoming a Social Soldier and may apply for a cohort when I have more experience here. :)
