7cups sending away people in crisis

It happens often enough that someone in crisis stumbles into the group chats on 7cups. And as soon as they show any signs of wanting to self-harm and/or being suicidal they are told to leave. Which is done in seemingly pretend way of telling the person that they are not equipped to help with a crisis and that this person should seek out the help of a crisis hotline. From my perspective that kind of ostracizing of those most in need of support and basically telling them that they dont belong will likely push someone even more into crisis. But 7cups does not care (mainly the owners - the rest has to follow the owners orders, for fear of losing their job (the mods) or simply being kicked out from the website).

I am not saying that dealing with people in crisis is an easy task or that it should be done by laypeople, but the way it is handled at 7cups is just simply wrong. If you basically promote yourself as a place of support and community for people who are struggling, but then show total disregard for those who are struggling the most, then something is really wrong with your approach. And the most vulnerable might be pushed over the edge having to realized that the support that people claim to offer at 7cups is only skin-deep.

Volunteering at 7cups

Volunteering at 7 Cups of Tea in April. As “Kartu Tikrai Galime” has not occurred during my volunteering time, I decide to find once again volunteer at 7 cups of tea. It was an activity I had last year but stopped as many users were misusing it, which made me uncomfortable.

Sadly, while I had a good time talking to people, some people were using it inappropriately, so I was reminded again why I had stopped this activity.

So, all in all, while this activity was interesting and enjoyable, I would not continue it as there as many people that do not appreciate, in an appropriate manner, the volunteer work you do.

Thinking about that time on 7Cups when I was in the midst of an episode and after talking about it to my listener she told me 'just stop giving a [shit*] lol' and then blocked me.

*7Cups censors swear words in messages

I don't remember the listener's name, this was over two years ago, but I remember that she was rated five stars.

So yeah, that's why I never use 7Cups anymore. I just opt to sit and sulk through episodes until I stop feeling like TV static.
