Room Supporter is one of the key roles in the Group Support Chatroom. This role focuses on providing quality listening and support to community members in the group chat rooms. Room Supporters foster healthy and supportive conversations in the chat rooms to ensure everyone entering the room feels welcomed, empathized, validated, comfortable, and included in the group. This role is suited for both members and listeners because our members are also amazing and supportive listeners in the chat rooms to provide support to each other. How do I become a Room Supporter? Step 1. Requirements to Become a Room Supporter A.

...See more (Please scroll down thread for updated posts) December 2024 Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful past week, whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not.  Today we’re thanking the Always Here hosts that have been a supportive presence in the Support Rooms this month.  We had 3 listeners and 1 member join the team with @AGentleGlow supporting for nearly 10 hours. Glow will be awarded 575 cheers for their time. Secondly, @Macylou82 recorded their hour and a half supporting others in the support room. Macy will be awarded 150 cheers for their time. A huge thank you to you both, and also to those who might be getting involved throughout this upcoming month of the new year.  If you’re interested in receiving recognition and/or having a more structured experience with supporting those in Support Room 24/7 (Adults and/or Teens) then please do apply, using the form here [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeEgSrzc-cS4wJxnfLzjT9FcFGmMGL6R1p_Eh8Uv9a6wA4Kjw/viewform].  You can also read more about the project here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/groupmod/GroupSupportInformationandUpdates_822/AlwaysHereProjectLaunch_342061/].  And just a quick reminder to current hosts to please remember to send the feedback form into the room after you’ve spent time supporting people there, and log your hours so you can receive recognition and cheers at the end of each month.  Thanks everyone and have a lovely weekend, my PMs are open to any questions regarding this project that you might have, replies to this post with questions is an option too.  Merry Christmas and a I hope for a Happy New Year! ❤️ (Edit: Past tags removed to avoid confusion - Kieran)

Enhancing Accessibility in the Playground Room! ♿

...See more Hi everyone! In The Playground Team we want the Playground Room to be a space where everyone can participate and have fun! That’s why we’re introducing game adaptations and a color-coded game classification system to encourage inclusivity. 🔹 Need Adaptations? ♿ If you require adjustments to better enjoy our group games, you can now request them through our accessibility request form [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeSk5BNtj7yjsRDTcPNDlZsr7-4Pf6rFF3qYP0tSb_SRVwTwQ/viewform]. 📋 (clickable) ✅ How does it work? * Fill out the form once—no need to submit it before each session. * The Playground Team Leader [https://www.7cups.com/@Antonio7Cups] will review your request and determine which games need adaptations. * Your personal information will remain private—hosts will only be informed of the necessary adaptations for the games and will take this into account when you join the sessions. * Processing may take up to 72 hours, so please submit your request in advance! You will be contacted once your request has been processed. 🔹 Game Classification System 🎲 To help hosts choose games that are more inclusive, we’ve introduced a color-coded system: 🟢 Highly inclusive games. → Easy-to-join games with minimal effort required. 🟠 Recommended games with Minor Adjustments → Generally accessible but may need small modifications. 🔴 Less inclusive games → Games that might be challenging for some participants and require significant adaptation. 💡 Hosts are encouraged to prioritize highly inclusive games to ensure everyone can join in the fun! However, this does not mean that they cannot choose the less inclusive games, as there are also adaptations for the less inclusive games, thus encouraging game variety. At the end of the day, fun is the most important thing in a game, and not just being the best at them. 🔹 Adaptations for Each Game ♿ To ensure a smooth and inclusive experience for all participants, below are the accessibility adaptations that will be applied during the sessions. These adaptations aim to accommodate different needs and enhance engagement with the games.  For a more detailed version of these adaptations, please send me a private message. If you're unfamiliar with a specific game, you can refer to its description in the official Playground Team game list [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zZCBz6qEKDD3Uu2cqGWlGmS87amzsGfzOF-IEbVilWE/edit?usp=sharing] (clickable). Below is the list of game adaptations that will be applied from now on: 🟢 This or That → Extra thinking time for those who need it. 🔴 Riddles → Multiple-choice answers, group collaboration, or hints. 🔴 Continue the Story → Allowing shorter responses or using visual prompts. 🟢 Would You Rather? → Simplified or visual options for better comprehension. 🟠 20 Questions → Predefined categories or extra hints for easier guessing. 🟢 Two Truths and a Lie → Providing examples or group brainstorming. 🔴 Word Chain → More response time or a pre-set word list. 🟠 Fill in the Blank → Multiple-choice options or drawing instead of writing. 🔴 One Sentence Story → Extra time and sentence starters for support. 🟠 Alphabet Storytelling → Visual aid with the alphabet and teamwork. 🟢 Wrong Answers Only → Accepting a broad range of responses. 🟠 Opposite Day → Guided examples and alternative word choices. 🔴 Secret Code → Hints or collaborative problem-solving. 🟢 Guess the Acronym → Prompts or example acronyms for inspiration. 🟢 Speed Questions → Slower pace, emoji/single-word responses, or a turn-based approach. 🔴 Emoji Translation → Describing emojis in words or a reference list. 🔴 Letter Limit Challenge → Flexible word limits or suggested word lists. 🟠 Describe It Badly → Example prompts for easier participation. 🔴 Reverse Questions → Example responses to guide players. 🟢 Three Words Only → Allowing slightly longer responses when needed. 🟢 Fake News Headlines → Providing themes for idea generation. 🟠 Movie Mashup → Pre-listed movies or shorter combinations. 🔴 Letter Swap → Verbal swaps or simpler words as a starting point. 🟢 Typo Challenge → Only one or two typos per sentence. 🔴 Rhyming Game → Pre-listed rhyming words for easier play. 🟢 Five-Word Stories → Allowing a few extra words if needed. 🟢 Fantasy Job Titles → Providing example job titles for inspiration. 🟠 Change One Detail → A reference sentence with suggested changes. 🟢 Time Traveler Talk → Pre-listed modern items for easier descriptions. 🔴 Sentence Scramble → Shorter sentences or hint-based assistance. Let’s make The Playground room a space where everyone feels welcome and included! 💙♿ @Antonio7Cups @BlackBlueWhite @kenzolena @radiantUnicorn3506 @Ankush1509 @Angiewaa @moonlight52 @Rebeccabanana @calmKermit7178 @Daydreammemories @hopeprovider6771 @OyenteDiego @lexi13345 @angelheart2011 @E114zzzz @wishfulWillow7295 @itmaybeebailey @ashtonacrux333 @lokaimoon @0EmilyNancy @Suryansh @ASilentObserver @CommunityModKay @theboymoana
