...See more Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. Did you know you can follow 7 Cups on your favorite social media platforms? Social media can be a mixed place, on one end we can find accounts/pages related to all of our favorite things but on the other hand, it can make us compare ourselves to others and sometimes interact with less than positive content. On our social media accounts, we share positive content focusing on inspirational quotes, the great things happening in our community, and what's up in the mental health world with a little fun in between. Our aim is to provide you with content that is good for your mental health. Following 7Cups social media accounts not only makes a positive impact on your feed, but it also helps us reach more people. More people can know about our platform and can benefit from our mission. That's quite a win, win if you ask me! To acknowledge and show our appreciation for the support you show you and us! Everyone who follows the following social media accounts will receive the ‘Super Supporter badge' Instagram - @7Cups [https://www.instagram.com/7cups/] Twitter - @7Cups [https://twitter.com/7cups] & @7CupsTeen [https://twitter.com/7CupsTeen] Facebook - 7CupsOfTea [https://www.facebook.com/7CupsOfTea/] Youtube - 7 Cups of Tea [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYsco2bYgzQzUsLnaO899Qg] LinkedIn - 7-cups [https://www.linkedin.com/company/7-cups] You can also follow 7 Cups Academy on LinkedIn! 7-cups-academy [https://www.linkedin.com/company/7-cups-academy/] Step 1) Hit follow! (We understand that not everyone has accounts on all social media platforms so you can follow the ones that you have accounts on) Step 2) Reply to this thread and let us know that you have followed us!

by Jill7Cups
Last post
 May 11th, 2020
...See more That was a mouthful! The Motivation and Self Help SC will be merging into Appreciation and Gratitude in the coming weeks, just in time for Appreciation and Gratitude's year anniversary on Feb 13 (stay tuned for some fun surrounding that). In addition, Appreciation and Gratitude will be updating its name to be Positivity and Gratitude. Compassion Corner will remain as the 24/7 chat room, and the pop up discussion room will be Positivity Corner. We look forward to strengthening the community by joining these two great SCs into one. Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. -Zig Ziglar

Listener training has a new addition
by Jill7Cups
Last post
 September 21st, 2019
...See more We are excited to announce we've added another section to our Active Listener training that covers how to take your first chat. This is a tour of the product (general queue, tools available in the chat box, navigation tips, etc) to help our new listeners feel more comfortable. Want to check it out? Did you know you can always re-take the initial listener training? It is the Active Listener training at the very top of all the available trainings. This is not a large change, but one we think will be helpful to our brand new listeners. We will continue to work on enhancing our new listener experience and have a few projects in the works. Stay tuned!

Listener Certificate Levels just leveled up!
by Jill7Cups
Last post
 August 21st, 2019
...See more Listening to someone to offer support is why 7 Cups exists, and we offer a unique volunteer experience that allows us to listen on our schedule. Without dedicated volunteer listeners we would not exist! As such, we want to make sure those who volunteer in this capacity get recognized and have a way to authenticate their time spent volunteering. Which leads us to: Listener Certifications got a makeover… again! Weve added 6 more tiers. Why? We wanted the first few to be easier to achieve, and we wanted to curate the required trainings, badges, listening hours, etc to really reflect a Listener who is dedicated to growth and learning (not to mention time spent listening). There are now 10 certification levels. Check out your current level here [https://www.7cups.com/listener/training.php] (click the certificate button to toggle over from the training page). For simplicity and professionalism they are named for their level, for example Level 1, Level 2, etc. These are not associated with the badges and levels of passing the active listener trainings. You must still fill those out if you would like to achieve those badges and credentials. Please note you must be on a Listener acount to access the page 👆 ⚡️The mix of cheers, training guides, badges, star ratings, and chat hours are how we guide a listener to continue growing. Learn more about cheers here [https://www.7cups.com/about/faqBadgesCheers.php%C2%A0], they are easy to get when you are working on becoming a great listener! Fun Fact: At the time of this posting, no one has reached level 10 yet (but a few are close!) We've opted to remove the four badges associated wtih passing the Active Listener trainings/tests: graduate, master, rocket, and scholar. Expect to see those poof soon. When you achieve a level the downloadable certificate button will turn blue. The first and last name you used to make your account is what will show up on the certificate. You can update your name in my settings anytime. What level are you?

No longer fixing bugs with the Feed
by Ece7Cups
Last post
 August 5th, 2019
...See more Hi everyone! Ece from the 7 Cups Product team here with a tough announcement to make. Here goes: As of this week, we will no longer be fixing bugs with the feed. This was a tough decision & not one we made lightly so I want to share with you the full reasoning that went into it: 1) The feed is hard for us to fix: The code that powers the feed is now some of the oldest on our site, which means the engineering effort it would take to fix the update bugs, hashtag bugs & other feed inconsistencies being reported is really high 2) It is hard for us to keep fixed: Because it's so old, the feed content actually lives on totally different servers than the rest of the site. Some of the bugs are due to this separate server set-up & it takes ongoing maintenance & additional time to keep them from regressing 3) It is expensive: That separate server set up is more expensive than all the rest of our servers. There have been months where server costs for the feed are as high as 1/3rd of our total server cost for the entire product! 4) Most people arent using it: Over the past 6 months, less than 2.5% of active users on the site have engaged with their feed (posting, following, hearting, etc). Even if we look at only engaged Members & Listeners, that number is still just 10%. We're a small team with limited resources & in considering all of this we came to the conclusion that we just can not afford the engineering time it would take to fix the feed when it does not benefit > 90% of our engaged Members & Listeners. Next steps: We know some of you really like & regularly use the feed and it's frustrating to be hit with the no updates bug or have hashtags not work. We want to take this opportunity to gather feedback from you directly as we think about how to proceed in the future. Comment below with your thoughts: - If you use the feed, what do you value about it? How would you complete the sentence "The feed lets me.....?" - If you don't use the feed, why not? What about this feature didnt work for you? Thanks so much for your understanding & your feedback!
