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.

7 cups is a great way for people to receive help when you can't find help from those around you.

I tell people to use it when they are in need, and in general it's just a great program that's doing better for the world.

I used 7 Cups back when I was in High School when I was really struggling with my mental health and the Listeners on here really helped me. I'm 19 and at college now, I have beaten the worst parts of my mental illnesses and I am now an active Listener on here thanks to everyone who has helped me. And thanks to everyone who helped me, I now want to become an Art Therapist and help others through the beauty of art and crafts. Thank you to all of the Listeners on here who have helped me many times and have helped me grow into who I am today as a Listener. :)

7 Cups of Tea is an amazing service for listeners and members. 7 Cups of Tea is anonymous, therefore creating a safe and comfortable environment for individuals to talk about what is on their mind. I recommend 7cuspoftea to many people struggling with problems.
