by ASilentObserver
Last post
 9 hours ago
...See more Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. This post is about - 7 Cups Compassion Course [https://www.7cups.com/forum/KitchenTable_133/SelfhelplearningwithLaura_743/7CUPSCOMPASSIONCOURSE_6809/1/] 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 A big thank you to @vivelespatates for single-handedly managing this initiative for all these years! ------------------------- Edit: by ASilentObserver on 04/06/2022

Calling All Verified Listeners: Help Wanted on the 7 Cups Welcome Committee!
by Heather225
Last post
 December 2nd
...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 just to be sure Welcomers are familiar with the basics of our platform. Requirements: ✔ You must be a Verified Listener (find out how to get verified here) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] ✔ 25+ chats ✔ No behavior reports (BPS) within 3 months ✔ Maintenance criteria: 2-3 hours a month to dedicate to this project ✔ Adaptability to changes! This is a new team so we're still figuring things out and like to try new things. ✔ Note: The team uses a google spreadsheet to copy/paste names and log PMs so you'll need access to a computer/laptop device. 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!

Game Time: “The Compliment Battle”❤️
by brightaday
Last post
 1 hour ago
...See more Who says compliments have to be serious? Let’s make them fun and ridiculous today! Here’s how we’ll play: 1. Start by giving a silly compliment to the person above you. It can be totally random and playful. Think of something like, “Your hair is so fabulous, I bet even rainbows get jealous,” or “You have the kind of smile that makes puppies want to wag their tails.” 2. Tag the next person to receive a compliment and challenge them to come up with an even sillier one in response! You’ll keep the compliments going in a chain of fun and positivity. ❤️ It’s a great way to bring a little brightness to the day because who doesn’t love a good, over-the-top compliment? Let’s make each other feel like the superheroes we all are. 💥 I’ll start: You have the kind of energy that could power a whole city on a bad day. Seriously, are you secretly a battery?❤️ Now, it’s your turn! Let’s keep this going and make each other laugh.❤️😅

...See more Hello All, I am trying to keep a tab on how long I study everyday. I am going through a rough patch but I need to study as well. Though I am healing I need someone to be accountable for when I study and would like to discuss on how it goes when we study alone full time. If anyone is in the same situation where you need to talk while still wanting to study and need company, please comment. Let's study together!
