Ohio’s Strive for Five Challenge

Ohio's Strive for 5 ChallengeThe challenge is simple: find five people in your life and check-in with them every day for the next 30-days.

Ohio’s Strive for Five Challenge is a new, statewide awareness campaign to help individuals and families cope with feelings of stress, anxiety, and isolation by connecting with others.
