The Warren Coalition’s “We See You, Warren County” program is a grassroots-level campaign, building resilience one person at a time. The initial premise was to encourage each person to acknowledge others and create a sense of belonging, and while that continues to be a focus for the program, this spring, the campaign is focused on encouraging each person to build resilience and providing tips and resources to do so.

The spring theme, “Build Resilience,” kicked off with a set of eight challenges:

  • Tell family members “I love you” every day
  • Use positive affirmations for yourself.
  • Learn a new skill
  • Practice self-care.
  • Learn to set goals.
  • Celebrate small accomplishments.
  • Join a group.
  • Care for your friendships.

A second set of challenges has been released and includes:

  • Learning to ask for and accept help.
  • Being thankful.
  • Developing critical thinking skills.
  • Making thoughtful choices.
  • Appreciating your heritage.
  • Helping others.
  • Knowing your triggers.
  • Asking questions and sharing ideas.
  • Greeting others.

In addition to the challenges and tips, resources for the seasonal theme are provided on the We See You, Warren County Facebook group, which now has over 1,250 members.

More about the We See You, Warren County Campaign                       

We See You, Warren County partners have agreed to help create a more connected community by greeting others and taking on at least one challenge each month. A connected community creates a sense of safety and belonging, which is a critical part of preventing drug and alcohol misuse. Members are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #WeCUWC. Organizations and individuals that register receive a window cling to show they are participating. The program now has more than 250 registered partners, and over 1250 Facebook members. Sign-ups are ongoing. Go to weseeyou.warrencoalition.org to learn more, or to officially sign up yourself, your family, or your business or organization. You can also join the Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/wecuwc/.

In addition, the Warren Coalition features individuals of the Warren County community on the “We See You” website, and on the Warren Coalition social media accounts. People do not have to be registered members to be featured. Anyone who lives, works, or plays in Warren County can submit a profile on the We See You website (weseeyou.warrencoalition.org).
