Updated Version: Member Compassion Course
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 February 12th
...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)

Newbie questions

...See more Hi, I just started using 7 Cups yesterday. I'm struggling a bit with a few things on this site. 1. First, is the material we write saved or is it erased regularly? I wrote in a gratitude journal and also answered a question"what would you tell a friend." and now I cannot see it. 2. I see that I was tagged in a post, but cannot find it. 3. How do I review Listeners? My listener adviced me in a way that stated the obvious and when I started telling the person my deeper feelings, she/he ran off. I'm not happy about that. This is hard to navigate! -

Problems with the mobile app
by WhiteCup9176
Last post
 January 29th
...See more Hello everybody, I just wanted to say that I'm personally more comfortable using the mobile version of most the websites and platforms that I use, since I enjoy being able to have them with me on the go and it's more reliable in terms of notifications. But I downloaded the mobile app on the app store for 7Cups and I seem to be having some problems. For example, when I was given a wellness test and told to do a survey about my issues, I would choose an issue and then rate the severity of it, but then it would always send me back to pick another issue and not let me continue with the test, wheras on desktop it did. Also, I was given a video to watch as part of my growth steps, but it wouldn't appear on the mobile app wheras it did on desktop. Does anyone else seem to be having problems with the mobile app or is this a readily known issue?

I must first do no harm. I will promote healing and well-being in my members and place the members interests above my own at all times.

I will treat my fellow listeners with honor and respect. I recognize that my behavior impacts them individually and influences the entire community. I will provide only those services for which I have had the appropriate training and experience and will keep my technical competency at the highest level in order to uphold best listening practices. I will recognize when I don't know something, asking for help when I need it. I will know my own abilities and limitations. I commit to growing in knowledge, understanding, and skill, to work collaboratively with listeners and other colleagues in the health professions, and to promote the highest quality of member care. I will keep this promise as a person of integrity and as an active listener, and I will do everything in my power to facilitate health, healing, and wholeness within myself, my fellow listeners, members and my world. signed: //victoriousUnicorns6// Date: 9/18/20
