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.

Yay! Will be contacting people soon :)
I have been posting my link to Tumblr. I make sure that everyone knows that it is a very safe place, free of judgement, and that it is where they can come if they need help. I want as many people to know that it's here for them if they need it. I only have Tumblr but I have 400+ followers on one blog and close to 1000 on another and hope that I can give more people an outlet when they need it!
@CatieCatWhispers
That's great that you're spreading the word!! Are you interested in signing up for Social Soldiers? If so, here is the LINK to the application--just indicate which team(s) you are interested in.
@RocketsMom
I looked into it before but I am only on Tumblr so it is the only outlet that I have to spread awareness.
That would be fine :). We have a tumblr team :) @CatieCatWhispers
I've got verified people (famous people) to retweet my link I also tweeted people my link and a few were greatful :) :)
Famous people - cool =D
Got a good response to a FB post about this site!
Awesome! I was just thinking on posting my link on my social media when I saw this thread! Definitely going to use all tags!
this is such a good way to spread the word!
I was sent here to post something by my Progress Path. I've already been sharing 7 Cups on facebook and various BDSM websites for months. No I am not joining Social Soliders, thank you! 
Hello everybody,
On my tumblr I just gave a descriptive explanation about what seven cups of tea is used for. I did add that it is not used as a crisis line and that they are to call 911 if they are ina a situation of that nature. I am hoping that my post reaches some people that need it... I hope everyone has a great rest of the night.
lot of love,
Fernyy3
Hi. I don't have a twitter or face book account to so I decided to spread the word by mouth. I actually enjoyed doing it. I also taught a person how to look for listeners.
