7 Cups is honored to receive the prestigious USA National Leadership Award for Leadership Excellence in Digital Mental Health Implementation, acknowledging the platform’s groundbreaking efforts to provide mental health care across the globe. Originally awarded to 7 Cups founder Glen Moriarty, the recognition also celebrates the contributions of 7 Cups’ community, including its administrators, ambassadors, volunteer mentors, and leaders, who help foster a culture of compassionate support. Together, they have made 7 Cups a leading force in mental health care, offering accessible services to millions.

The award was presented by the eMental Health International Collaborative (eMHIC) at the 9th Digital Mental Health International Congress, held in Ottawa, Canada, on September 19th and 20th, 2024. eMHIC honors excellence in digital mental health, and every Congress, it recognizes one award recipient from each member country with a country-specific Implementation Leadership Award in Digital Mental Health. This award is presented to organizations or individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and made exceptional contributions by implementing digital mental health solutions at scale.

7 Cups stands out for its gift economy approach, where thousands of trained listeners offer their time and support voluntarily, fostering a culture of reciprocity and kindness. This model enables 7 Cups to provide empathetic, peer-to-peer support at no cost to users, creating a thriving global network of over 500,000 active listeners who contribute to mental health care in numerous languages.

This vast network ensures that individuals from diverse backgrounds have access to emotional support, no matter where they are located. In addition to one-on-one listening, 7 Cups members can connect through community forums, group chats, and growth paths amongst other features – resources specifically designed to help every user flourish.

In addition to its peer support system, 7 Cups has significantly expanded its professional mental health services. The platform now offers innovative video and audio teletherapy options, alongside traditional text-based therapy services. This holistic approach ensures that users have access to mental health support at every level, whether through volunteer listeners or licensed professionals.

“Receiving the US Distinguished Leadership Mental Health Award is a testament to the entire 7 Cups community,” said Glen Moriarty. “Our leaders work tirelessly to build a culture of understanding and compassion. This award is for all of them and for the members who continue to shape 7 Cups into a space where anyone can find the support they need.”

With its award-winning approach, 7 Cups continues to set the standard for accessible mental health care, making a profound difference in the lives of individuals worldwide.
