Testers Needed: Try the Transformation Wheel (and earn a badge)!
by Heather225
Last post
 2 days ago
...See more Last week I introduced a brand new intervention called the Transformation Wheel. [https://www.7cups.com/forum/siteupdates/General_2444/IntroducingtheTransformationWheelInvitationtoJoin_342256/] If you’ve been following along, you know it’s a powerful tool I’ve been using to tackle personal challenges and break free from negative cycles and it’s been transformative. I was feeling an 8/10 on the distress scale and after 4 weeks of exploration and investment, the issue has dropped to a manageable 2/10. But I am just one of a handful of accounts so far. To measure just how effective this tool is, I need more perspectives! With that, I’d like to invite you to take the wheel. As a tester, you’ll play a key role in helping strengthen this intervention by giving us feedback on how effective the process was for you and any ideas for improving it. And as a thank-you, you’ll be rewarded with the Wellness Warrior badge. Fill in this form to sign up HERE [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8R8vyQHTweyA20lEg3lCeIHuyhq1ZSLsb4nVczUtqL5-nlg/viewform], and I will reach out to support you. (At this point in early testing, both members and listeners are welcome to take part.) Thank you!

Code 064

...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
...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
...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

Introducing the LEG Dashboard for Members: Learn, Explore, Grow Your Way to Well-being
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 July 23rd
...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.
