Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

From commitment to civil controversy, 7Cups goes above and beyond in showing just how impacting one conversation can be. An organization designed to assist in online therapy, the 7Cups mission is to spread awareness of therapy, while also providing a safe space to share feelings. As a group, it was our goal to learn more about the organization, not just as students learning about leadership and the social change model, but as people wanting to make a positive difference. Our research was dedicated to not only proving that 7Cups is successful in sharing their mission of an accepting space, but also understanding our own impact in society. In the end, we did exactly that. Corban, Jack, Micaela, and Ryan have sufficiently discovered that 7Cups serves as a vital case study for the Social Change Model, demonstrating that digital accessibility in mental health is not just a service, but a catalyst for community-driven social responsibility.
