Virtual Therapy for Listeners?
Hello, hopefully you guys are having a wonderful day! I've been an active listener on 7 Cups for a couple of months and have completed several chats. However, I'm curious to find out if one attempting to contact a listener can do virtual visits online as well, for more effective therapy.
@bccook if you mean such as through video, currently 7cups doesn't have this feature. My guess is that it would be incredibly difficult to manage for safety reasons, to make sure the chats are appropriate and not harmful while still being private. I think that kind of support would be better suited for professionals, so the person seeking support knows it will be professional and accountable. Unfortunately professional services like that can be inaccessible for some people, so free volunteer-based things like 7cups can come in handy. But the downside is that it's very easy for anyone to join, so some things are probably too difficult to allow if you wanted to keep the site safe with such a random assortment of people on it
@bccook Currently, ther online paid therapy doesn't even do video, I think that would come far before the listeners could do so.
