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 have shared with all of my friends who I know will appreciate and value seven cups and they in turn will share it with others
My friend gave me this link to 7 cups and I used it a lot when I was going through hard times. THen when I was better I joined as a listener and sent the link out to a few people who needed it. Then they passed it on as well.
I'm happy that I have found 7 cups and became a listener. I feel like I'm making a difference and helping people
Ever since I used 7cups to help other listeners. I
I stumbled upon 7Cups 4 and a half years ago 3 months after encountering a rejection due to not being able to afford a counselor. I also learned I could volunteer and it helped because of the depression part of grieving past the relationship.
I found 7 Cups via a post on tumblr and the feeling of helping people with their problems has really helped me with my own. I hope everyone is having a great day!
I am so grateful for discovering 7 Cups thanks to an advert on Instagram. I cant wait to keep developing
I am definitely going to tell more people about it, starting with someone I discuss mental health with a lot 🥰
Just joied this site :) it's amazing
