Help Us Build the 7 Cups Local Support Directory!
by Heather225
Last post
 8 minutes 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
Last post
 4 hours ago
...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!

Regional, State, Country Surveys?
by GlenM
Last post
 February 9th
...See more Quick question for you all: We released our Local section a few months ago: 7cups.com/local. Part of this directory includes the top 50 mental health challenges in each region. I was talking with a couple of friends that were trying to find ways to create positive mental health change through organized campaigns. One idea they had one was a sort of regular poll or survey that would be tied to states or countries.  Members and listeners would be able to ask their own questions. We would also ask questions. The goal would be to try to figure out bottom-up and top-down what the main mental health challenges are in each region. Once we identified those challenges, we could then help start to solve them both online - on 7 Cups - and offline through working with local partners. The data from the surveys would be published on the local pages for each country and state. Any reactions to this idea? We don't want to do it if there isn't organic interest in it. I'm not wedded to it either way. Open and honest feedback very welcome! - If you'd like to help us collectively build out food pantries, crisis lines, shelters, other nonprofits etc. across all the regions around the world, including your local area, you can submit listing through this form (here) [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeKa-xGlLjvwFDjyv5aW4WeM_nuP9u6oBiZkg4ZqwY8AMKK7Q/viewform?usp=preview]!

...See more Hello beautiful humans! I'm in a bit of a pickle. I am trying to respond in a forum and I keep getting the error code 064. I did some research and it looks like it could be due to censored words or copy/paste. I am not sure which words could be censored, but since it was a long response I did end up doing copy/paste while I did some editing. How can I fix my post so that I don't keep getting this error?  Thank you!

Start Chat feature not available anymore

...See more Hi team, I'm an experienced and old listener at 7cups, back from the days when it used to be called 7 Cups of Tea 😄 I remember, back in the days, we were able to start chats with the new members to make them feel welcome and also encourage them to feel comfortable is sharing their problems to feel at peace. Recently, I have noticed that we can no longer start chats with members. Can anyone tell me why did we remove that feature and what's the new way to initiate chat with a new member user? I hope to get sooner and positive responses on this post. Thank you for reading ✨️

Review 7 Cups of Tea in the app store and earn the iListen badge!
by GlenM
Last post
 August 4th, 2024
...See more We are very happy that the app is out and very thankful to all of you who have left reviews. With international reviews counted, I believe we just passed 25, which is fantastic! When people look for help on the Web, they normally search for things like "I need someone to talk to" or "depression chat" in Google. Google then points them to 7 cups and we are able to help them. The Apple app store, unfortunately, does not have Google. It has a search box, but it is harder for people to find us there. One way we can help them find us and get help on 7 cups is through providing a steady stream of reviews in the app store. In short, helping people through the app store is considerably harder than helping people on Google.  How can we make it easier for people to find us? The more reviews we add each week, the easier it is for people to find us. Towards that end, we've created a new badge for anyone that provides a review in the Apple app store. It is called iListen. We'll be releasing one on the member side as well and also for the Android store once our app is live there.  How do you get the badge? Simply leave us a review and then post here in this thread and we'll award the badge to you. Please do not post in this thread with any questions you may have. Just PM me and I'll answer them.  Here are links to the app store: U.S.: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7-cups-tea-free-emotional/id921814681 UK: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/7-cups-tea-free-emotional/id921814681 And for people in other locations, you can find your country abbreviation here: http://www.apple.com/choose-your-country/ Thank you!

Phone confirmation emotional dissapoitment and hurt from my side
by SweetmintyFlippy100
Last post
 July 27th, 2024
...See more his feature that was added a while ago with the confirmation number to simply talk to a listener??? what if some people don't have a phone and they are on browser??? what if they really do need help but can't talk to anybody because of that '' Confirmation phone'' to talk to someone I know this post will get removed since nobody cares and even if I speak about it it will remain the same nothing will change because why would they change it when they implemented it??? have they even undo something they did in the past? I don't think so it stays like a permanent marker and now the members who need to talk to someone are less and less than before without this confirmation thing in the past everything was so much better more people would join freely without any complications without having to stress about getting a phone number and even if they get one their mood is already pretty ruined and they just want to be free I do hope that 7 cups at least makes this phone thing optional OPTIONAL not obligatory because I am sure there is more than 10000 accounts who are made everyday and they just get stuck and inactive on that phone confirmation thing BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY DO NOT WANT TO DO THAT  and honestly this platform probably felt the loss of their users when they added that even the request station for members its not even full anymore like it was shame just shame I really hope in the future things could be diferent

Last post
 July 23rd, 2024
...See more Hi everyone, We're thrilled to announce the launch of the LEG Dashboard for our 7 Cups members on the 7 Cups website (coming to an app near you in a few weeks)! This structure is designed to help with your mental health journey by providing daily, simple, and effective steps to heal and grow. What is the LEG Dashboard? LEG stands for Learn, Explore, Grow. The dashboard offers a structured yet flexible approach to well-being, focusing on three key areas: * Learn: Access bite-sized lessons (under 5 minutes!) packed with valuable insights and techniques. * Explore: Different ways to connect with our compassionate community and explore your issues * Grow: Track key healthy habits like drinking water and sleep. There is a lot of research about how helpful these habits are for good mental health. Benefits of the LEG Dashboard: * Daily Progress: The LEG Dashboard encourages you to take small, daily steps that lead to significant change over time. * Holistic Approach: This tool addresses multiple aspects of well-being, promoting mental, emotional, and physical health. * Actionable Steps: The lessons provide practical skills you can apply in your daily life. * Supportive Community: Explore fosters connection with others who understand your journey. * Increased Self-Awareness: Tracking sleep and water intake helps you identify patterns and make positive adjustments. Filling Up Your Daily Cup: The LEG Dashboard features a daily cup at the top that fills up as you complete each action: * Learn: Finish a lesson and contribute to your cup. * Explore: Explore what matters to you and watch your cup grow. * Grow: Log your sleep and water intake to keep your cup brimming. We hope that you’ll find filling your cup with healthy and supportive LEG activities rewarding and helpful. Here's how the cup will look once you have completed your daily LEG activities: Making Daily Wellness a Habit: The LEG Dashboard makes self-care easy and encourages you to prioritize your well-being every day. By incorporating these simple steps into your routine, you'll be well on your way to feeling better and achieving your mental health goals. Together, let's learn, explore, and grow on the path to a happier, healthier you! How do you like your LEG dashboard? Let us know which part of LEG you find most helpful and request suggestions you have for how we can make it more helpful for you.
