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 would like to say hello to everyone here at 7cups, Smile your all wonderful!
This site really made me realize how helping others is a way to overcome your problems as well... meeting great people can show you that life is really an up and down thing and it's normal to feel sad sometimes
Great things going on here.
the moment I came here I was depressed a little with myself then I knew I can really help. Being a listener helped me a lot now I feel like more lighter and can cope with whatever happens in my life, 7 cups is really a treasure we must appreciate ♥
7 cups is so helpful, it not only allows me to help others but it allows for me to get help with any problems of my own.
I love being here! Wish it could be my full time job.
I love being a listener on 7 Cups because I'm able to help people who are in need. Although I've been doing it for a limited time, it's definitely improved my social life, as well! I'm a resource to my friends, as well as people in this community. I love doing what I'm doing and hope to get better!
7 Cups can help somebody in a tough situation find a solution through helping others. It is really a beautiful process and is an amazing thing to be a part of as a listener :)
I always love help people and I think this website is the best thing to help people!
