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.

😘😘😘
everyone on this website is absolutely fantastic. i think the concept is great & the fact that it works out so well is amazing to me. you are all wonderful people, keep doing what you're doing.
This is the perfect place to find people who don't judge you, they accept you for who you are. They are willing to listen and give all the love they can. They are willing to go with you through whatever you're going through and it's hard to feel alone. I'm on this journey with all of you and if you need a friend, count me in ,I'll help you in whichever way I can and I promise to listen to everything❤️you're not alone.
Whenever I'm feeling down, I come to 7cups to listen to other people's problems which always lifts my mood when I realize that I'm helping someone other then myself to get past a few problems they have in life. To know that I'm changing someone's life by providing the right positive support and listening to them always makes me feel better, or happy.
