ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Note: Just one week ago, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and the Coalition for Behavioral Health launched a ‘Strive for Five’ campaign to encourage ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈers to use a variety of strategies, including phone, text, web, social media and other applications and Zoom technologies, to reach out and offer mental health support to at least 5 individuals on a daily basis over the next month, during these extremely challenging and stressful times.
Even in this short time, we are gaining supporters in ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ, but also in Ohio and as far as Scotland.
The media are showing interest as well:last Friday, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’ Ruth Colon-Wagner did a TV interview for NYC television station Univision’s Spanish-speaking audience. See the clip at and look for more coverage this week.
Also, see the Campaign’s video at and please email us at striveforfivechallenge@gmail.com to let us know you are taking the challenge and use the social media hashtag #NYStrive5. Thank you!
Very special thanks to Kristin Woodlock for the inspiration for this initiative that we hope will, over time, bring much needed comfort and connection to countless ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈers when it is needed the most.
