Meaning, you do not receive the Group Mod Badge unless you are global. The Support Team Leaders of the teams you selected to join will also be notified. You will be contacted by them within 3 days to a week of your original mod training. Leaders will welcome you to the team as well as give you further instructions on additional training you may need to moderator their community room, if any. For example: If you pick Self-Harm, the Self-Harm team leader will give you further information on how to safely moderate discussion on self-harm in the room. If your application is unsuccessful, a leader will reach out to offer feedback and further guidance. Global Moderators: After your application is completed, please allow up to 3 days to a week for review. You will be contacted by a Group Support Mentor Leader or Ambassador to let you know if your application has been approved or what you need to do in the future before reapplying if your application was denied. In order to ensure the integrity of the Mod badge, we will ask that you aim to send at least 100 group support messages per month. We ask that you support and guide the community-centered mods and show up in the rooms consistently. Those who don't meet the requirements because of self-care breaks will be able to reapply for their badge back without completing the full training if they lost their badge within 2 months. Confused? [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerFeedbackSiteUpdates_38/SITECHANGESUPDATESSPECIFICTOLISTENERCOMMUNTIY_506/SelfCareBreakProtocolandGuidelines_99436/] If it has been more than two months since you lost your badge, you will be asked to complete the full training again. Things change quickly and we want to make sure you are updated and aware of any changes with the moderation system.

What Is It Like To Be A Group Support Leader?

by ASilentObserver

November 8th, 2022

...See more Hi everyone, This post showcases what it’s like to be a Group Support Leader in the community. What is a Group Support Leader? It is an umbrella term for different leadership roles in the Member Group Chats such as Sharing Circle Host, Discussion Leader, Room Supporter, Chatroom Moderator, etc. What do these leaders do? They support members in group chats. They build and maintain a safe and inclusive community, host discussions on diversified topics, foster healthy and uplifting conversations, and ensure all feel heard, supported, and comforted. Every role has its own specific activities that they perform in order to bring support to members in the member group chats. Member group chats are like Sharing Circle, Support Room, General Support, Anxiety, LGBTQ+, Relationship, Trauma, etc. What do our Group Support Leaders think about their roles? This is what our existing group support leaders have to say about their role: * Being able to keep the chatrooms safe and making our hosts feel supported and valued so that they continue volunteering for us * Get to foster greater activity within rooms via hosting etc. * Supporting people generally in chats and welcoming people who are new! * I do on-the-spot moderating and enjoy that I can support and often finish up with a one-on-one chat with a member who really needs some extra attention. * I love the energy in the room and love to read the comments which usually are quite thoughtful * Spending time in rooms, ensuring a safe, inclusive environment. * The feeling of achievement after a good session * I like being able to be flexible. * The love in the chat, it's such a vibe! * Hosting sessions * That I am able to provide comfort and empathy and care in a more in-depth way to our people. * Ability to support members * I get to help people further. * I like helping support everyone and helping to increase morale, cheering people, helping hosts, etc. * As a room supporter as well as a mod, I've been able to find better ways to bring up the topics that need to be discussed. Overall, it's a healthy job that helps me find myself. As a room supporter, chatroom moderator, or host, one is helping a member in distress feel heard and supported and knowing that there are people who they can count on and they are not alone in their challenging times. How can I become a Group Support Leader? There are specific requirements and criteria for each role. In addition to following Community and Chatroom Guidelines, one needs to participate in the member group chats like Sharing Circle, and Support Room and observe the participation, participate when feels comfortable and attend at least 3 Sharing Circle sessions. It will help one to become a host or discussion leader. If you are interested to be one, you can apply to become a: * Sharing Circle Host here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPe2N1QUjB_KEFF_EhAtZymtydkkIFlruU7u0lC35q4eTztA/viewform] * Discussion Leader here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6xM-bHb1VK1w0BcVU0-S-xCxgxYfIJ9kRP1M_-ZNzABpU2w/viewform] * Room Supporter here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/ApplicationStation_2417/RoomSupporterUpdatedRequirementsandApplication_247786/] * Chatroom Moderator here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/GroupSupport_168/ApplicationStation_2417/ApplyforChatroomModeratorInformationonCommCenteredGlobal_112280/] If you have any questions about the role or member group chats, you can reach out to @ASilentBunny, @Lou73 and @ASilentObserver
