Updated Version: Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 7 hours ago
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - the 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/welcome/Resourcesat7CupstoHelpYou_1275/ReIntroducingMemberCompassionCourse_252883/] which we reintroduced in 2021.  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 community. This course allows you to foster healthy conversations and connections as well as be a compassionate, loving, supportive, and amazing member of the group support chats [https://www.7cups.com/connect/groupChatrooms.php] and the community. Based on the feedback we received, we made some changes and improvements to make the course a bit more comprehensive as well as covering different topics like compassion, self-compassion, universal compassion, benefits, and challenges, etc to foster a better understanding and practice of compassion in our daily lives.  Who can participate? Any member can take this quiz. Even if you are an experienced member, give it an attempt. 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. If you do not know anyone, that is okay. * Your responses to the course will be auto-graded and if you successfully pass it, you will receive a “Compassion Hero” badge. * If you didn’t pass, that’s okay. Feedback will be shared and then you can retake the course. Why should you give it an attempt? Because it presents an opportunity to take a moment to self-reflect and assess self-awareness. Here is some feedback that we received on why one took this course.  * I appreciate the opportunity to take a moment and reflect on self-awareness. It’s a good exercise to be intentional and concise. Life is a daily practice, and practicing compassion never hurts. * I was nicely surprised to take this course because sadly some people need to be refreshed on how to treat others, and it's a great feeling knowing that 7cups take that extra precaution to protect all of us on our journeys. Thank you! * How engaging and thought-provoking the questions were. * I liked that the course made me stop to think about compassion and how I can be more compassionate. * I learned a few ways that I could be more compassionate. I'm not the best at reaching out.  * The course helped me understand more about compassion and gave me questions that got me to think. >> Take the Compassion Course and share your score in the comments. Let's celebrate our commitment to kindness together. 💖 [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMEXP6lopKu4ZJAtmctmwk0vq9Fp7T892gWJteqmQoIJa_Dg/viewform]<< (Text is hyperlinked, click it to start the quiz)

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 December 2nd, 2024
...See more The hardest part of the journey is sometimes the beginning, and this is especially true of our newbies. We as a community have the power and ability to ensure they get properly oriented and supported so that their journey is smooth. I have been actively contacting newbies over the past couple of months and the results have been inspiring. Roughly 80% of those I sent a personal message responded to me and very appreciatively! That's a really big deal because those people have a much higher chance of being retained (retained = staying on 7 Cups). But I need help! So it's with great excitement, that I announce the revamped relaunch of the Welcome Committee! Through this initiative, we can meet our newcomers at the start with a friendly welcome (think hospitality, a greeter, etc.). We will also provide guidance and resources they need to navigate their first steps. The tasks are simple. PMing brand new members off a list, saying hi, giving resources, answering their questions and sending follow-up PMs to make sure their transition is complete. There's a few requirements to be qualify to be a Welcomer: Requirements: ✔ You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] ✔ No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months ✔ Maintenance criteria: 2-3 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✔ Comfortable PMing ✔ Familiarity with Google dashboards and sheets ✔ Note: The team uses spreadsheets to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. This work can't be done via phone. We apologize for the inconvenience! The monthly quota: Adults: Welcome 30 members (60 messages sent including first PM & followup) Teens: Welcome 15 members (30 messages sent including first PM & followup) You can make a huge difference in our community's growth by joining us. I look forward to building this team with you! >>> Apply here!

Hello world! Newbie Listener joining in.

...See more Hi i am cherishedLight4433! I am glad to have joined this community. It was an idea I thought through over the last 2 weeks with someone close to me. I've been through a lot in my life. A lot a lot. I've recently joined a local community and have been learning about the healing power of community ever since. It takes a village to raise a child and I also firmly believe it takes a village to heal. Which is why I decided on becoming a Listener after having been a member for a bit. I hope to be helpful to everyone, member and listener alike! May you all have a blessed day! -cherishedLight4433

Hello. I'm new here
by emotionalpal710

...See more Hello. My name is emotionalpal710, but you can refer to me as "Emotion" or "Pal." I mainly came here as I am struggling with coping with school. Winter break ends after this weekend and I keep thinking about how terrifying school is to me. I have also struggled with friendships and people throughout my life. I am struggling with a certain online friend right now, but I don't know what to do. I am happy to be part of this community today. I will try to participate often. It especially helps when I have someone to talk too as I usually bottle up all my feelings away unless to very specific people. Some lighter things I like Sonic the Hedgehog, drawing (although I have been lacking motivation lately), writing, etc. I want to get a job as a computer programmer or some sort of computer job in my adult life. I feel really afraid of what is to come, but I am trying to suck it up and be strong. A big thing with me is that I dislike being a fearful and defenseless coward. I have some anger issues because I want to try and force myself to be strong and take the pain I get with a brave and unemotional face. Maybe here, I will learn to try and embrace my emotions more. I am trying to accept myself for who I currently am, but it is hard. Either way, however, it is a pleasure to be here. I hope everyone is having a good day/night, we can do this day by day. Little by little.
