Help Us Build the 7 Cups Local Support Directory!
by Heather225
Last post
6 hours ago
...See more Hi, everyone! We have been working on building out our new local support system as a way to bridge online care with offline care. Many people come to 7 Cups looking for help on the ground - they might need access to a food pantry, a shelter, a therapist, a treatment center, or a faith organization. We often make referrals to these places, but we can now do it right from our platform! If you search 7cups.com/local [http://7cups.com/local] by your area, you’ll see that we have the beginnings of a parallel mental health system for each country (and many states in the US). We are highlighting the number of people we’ve helped, the number of listeners, and the top 50 mental health issues for each state or country. We hope that these pages become hubs for local support resources and we'd like to invite you to help by submitting links to resources to expand our global reach. You can submit information through this form (here) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKa-xGlLjvwFDjyv5aW4WeM_nuP9u6oBiZkg4ZqwY8AMKK7Q/viewform]. Accurate submissions will be awarded with cheers and an exclusive badge for your contribution!  Thank you! - Note: To ensure your privacy, please know that all information submitted through the form will be kept in strict confidence. We will not share your submissions publicly, and any data used for the local support system will be anonymized to protect your identity.

Daily Prayers, Intentions, & Beams!
by Heather225

...See more I often reflect on what makes our community so extraordinary. It’s the way we listen, the way we relate, the way we care for one another, and accept one another where we’re at, struggles and all. We are connected because we share the human experience. We find collective strength in one another and draw on that to not just survive, but thrive. Together, we're building a community where healing is possible, growth is inevitable, and hope is attainable. This interconnectedness is how we combat loneliness and create ripples of positive change, one connection, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time. Inspired by this shared connection and the incredible strength we find in one another, I have created this space for us to offer and receive support, pray for one anothers, set intentions for our community, and send positive energy to those in need. Think of this as our daily practice of collective care. Whether you have a specific prayer request for support or want to share a positive affirmation, this is the place to do it.  Whether you're going through a personal crisis, facing health concerns, or other difficulties, you can ask for an empathetic ear, offer prayers, or just comforting words. If you'd like a specific kind of support, please do mention it with your share. You can say as much or as little as you like about your situation. (It can be as simple as "please pray for x", "please send me strength/blessings/vibes", "please keep me in your thoughts", "send beams" [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/GlensNookCommunity_547/BEAMS_202686/] etc!) Or you can set intentions for your day. (ex. I intend to be more mindful of my own emotional needs and practice self-care.) If you have things that you want us to pray for and think about and send positive energy your way, let us know. (The community team is going to be engaged and following this closely in a more direct way, too. Many of you, like Glen, pray for our community daily or keep us in your thoughts!) This is an invitation for us to surface and build on these activities to strengthen our shining city and further lift one another up.  Ready? Share below!

Quarterly Community Survey Overview (January 2024)
by Heather225
Last post
January 27th, 2024
...See more I want to thank everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and suggestions in our recent community survey. Your feedback is invaluable, and I've been taking the time to carefully review it all. I'm excited to share some key areas where we're thriving as well as growth opportunities. Regarding the requests for technical improvements, we want to acknowledge that our resources have limitations. While we may not be able to fulfill every wish, your input is deeply appreciated and will guide our future development. We're committed to making this community the best it can be for everyone, and your voices are essential in that process. Here's some things we're doing well! - Most people who seek a space like this are likely willing to grow and listen to others, so it's simply the people who make it welcoming. - Mods are great with welcoming new members - The forums and the sessions in groups are very positive. - I think we are doing well in teams like PAT and the KP Team. I feel that it’s so sweet that we can appreciate each other and it’s so important to spread this kind of kindness around all the time - I like the threads and different options of interactions we have. I also love the guided thread reflections, and I like the different activities and challenges - I quite like that there have been many refresher quizzes and whatnot across the community. I notice that there are improvements in the leadership teams and I am most grateful. - Awesome autism community. - I think that we're good at giving vital information and we've got many amazing listeners here. We also have forum posts that are very helpful to many who read them. We are good at being supportive to one another as well. Improvement opportunities - Consistent and faster replies in the Needs Reply section - Making sure both members and listeners get welcomed in forums - Autism training material for listeners - Heightened awareness of the importance of self-care for those in roles - Cultivating the habit of welcoming people when they enter rooms and including them in conversations to increase inclusivity - More mod presence and available doorkeepers - That every team creates their own refresher quizzes to run monthly or quarterly - Better listener training and screening process (in the works) - More transparency as to what leaders are working on in the background. - Organize and highlight resources for members, similar to how listener resources are prevalent in forums. - App enhancements (ongoing) Our journey as a collective community is full of continuous growth, and with your participation, we can reach new heights of inclusivity, support, and positive impact. With that said, if any of the initiatives mentioned above interest you, and you’d like to contribute to helping us move them along, please let me know. Thanks, all!

Community Feedback: Playlist Paths

February 16th, 2021
...See more Are you a fan of our Growth Paths? What would you think of being able to create your own? You may have read about it in our January Update. The Growth Path Playlist [https://www.7cups.com/forum/SiteUpdates_100/GlensNookCommunity_547/CreateandShareYourOwnGrowthStepsandGrowthPaths7CupsGrowthPathPlaylists_228306/] is a new feature that will allow trusted members, listeners, and experts to create their own growth path steps and entire growth paths (it’ll also work on the listener side with progress path steps and progress paths). Think about if you could completely personalize a growth path of your own: what would it be? What would be the topic you focus on? In what way would you want to help others with it? In preparation for our launch, we'd like to ask you to fill out this quick survey [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScu0MhJRWoM5YF1g8fUvvy-S4mVFCkSsxxgA54V8lXG8g6dcQ/viewform] and let us know what categories/topics you would like to see. All thoughts welcome! This will be one of our biggest community-wide efforts yet and we look forward to what your collective intelligence, experience and creativity will surface in your own playlists to help one another in an all-new way!
