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.

@Cadence
Wait, I don't have social media, :( Is there any other ways though?
I dont use social media sites :/
I was wondering how to get referrals! thanks!
@wetcoast
Hey there, thank you so much for helping out! Your referral link can be found on the left hand side of your dashboard, and whenever anyone clicks on it from another site, you get one referral click. They get taken through to the main site page, not to your profile, so you don't need to worry about your listener identity!
Without a doubt the best way to do this is to share the link on social media, and if you don't feel comfortable sharing it on your own accounts, you set up a non personal Twitter, Tumblr, reddit etc. for the purpose of spreading the word about 7 Cups, with a handle like "Coast_7Cups''. Don't worry if you're not that social media savvy, I had no idea what Twitter was before I joined!
This sounds like such a good idea!
Who else is sitting in school doing nothing XD
Every person here is a social soldier... I thank everyone here for being helpful to all those who need them and extend their support to the people around!
I have told everyone I know about this site!
I have spread the word about 7 cups to my friends, and also to my boyfriend, who is now a listener! :)
I jhave created FB page to promote 7 cups actyvities
