Re-Introducing Member Compassion Course
Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well.
This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course which was created by Laura. The course is for members only. Not for listeners!
The goal of this course is to understand and know the basics of practicing compassion and help & support our members to have a compassionate experience in the group support chat rooms. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the chat rooms and the community.
Who can participate?
Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, then also welcome to take part in it. Because we are all learning and practicing compassion.
How can a member participate?
- Once you have completed the course, please let us know in the comments of this post.
- Also, tag any 3 members you know to invite them to take the quiz as well.
- Your responses to the course will be graded and if you successfully passed it, you will receive, “Compassion Hero” badge.
- If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course.
Please remember that this course is designed to help you practice compassion and empathy for yourself and others. Because it is kindness that makes any place a better place to live in. Also, it will make you feel more comfortable, and well equipped to participate and be a wonderful participant in the group support chat rooms and forums.
If you have any feedback to improve the course or any other ideas, please let us know in the comments of this thread.
On that note, I invite you to take the compassion course here: https://tinyurl.com/4us8x8ue

Completed the compassion course
@ASilentObserver
Just finished taking the Compassion Course. Can I get access to the other group chats now, please? Thank you!
@ASilentObserver I took the course as well. It was great! :)
@ASilentObserver
took it now
I did the quiz, if I could have access to the rooms that would be grand :).
Is there anyway you could link to the resources shared in the original article? You link to the quiz as though it is a course and a course would require material and then a test, not just a test. I did eventually find the material in the original post you linked to but I had already done the quiz by then and was very confused.
Also there were some wording issues which I found confusing:
"Our group support chat rooms are helping each other learn and grow. Which skills are helpful in this endeavour?" The other box where I feel I put in a very valid answer of patience was marked as incorrect by default? It feels like a trick question, surely there are not only 5 skills useful in this situation? Also I must admit I don't understand the bold tickbox and it's not told me why being bold is helpful, which is confusing me.
"Imagine you are starting to feel upset by another chatroom participant, what could you do to protect yourself and your personal boundaries? Pick the best reply, there can be more than one correct response." The wording on that last bit really confused me and I read it as "pick what you think is the best response, there are multiple good ones here" which lead me to choose only one. I then got the question incorrect which is again frustrating as I knew the answers just didn't know I should tick them all.
I am autistic and take these things very literally, the experience was honestly rather frustrating, especially since I wanted to attend a chat today at 8. Could in future there be a release notice on the app and website somewhere obviously (around the chat rooms) that access is changing again and please fill in this to get access before it is blocked. I understand the changes and why they are needed but I feel there are some ways to make the changeover less jarring for the users as it's hugely frustrating and many of us do not do well with change, myself very much included.
@Lilibuth12 Hi Lili, thank you for your valuable feedback and for taking the quiz. I am sorry to hear it was a frustrating experience and I can understand being autistic it can be a bit more challenging but you did really well.
On the "Bold" part of the question, it referred to reaching out and sharing your experiences and emotions. Unless you share what you going through, others may not understand and support you and vice-versa. But good point, I will make it clear in the quiz too.
I agree with you on the part about making updates more visible so everyone can take their steps before changes go live. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused but I hope these changes allow us to bring more support and comfort to everyone.
Thank you for being amazing and part of the Group Chats.
I will rephrase some oof the sentences to make them easier and simpler to process. Please do let me know if you have more questions or any other feedback.
I just finished the compassion course.
@ASilentObserver Took the course. Excited to be a part of 7cups~
