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.
You are encouraged to reach out, connect, and comfort each other while we all work our way through the COVID-19 crisis and social distancing. Peer-to-peer support has great power in helping to calm anxiety and fear. By reaching out via phone, text, email, or even a hand-written note, you can help.
The Strive for Five Challenge was developed by the New York Coalition for Behavioral Health and brought to Ohio by the Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County.
The WNZR staff is taking Governor DeWine’s challenge to Strive for 5. We are committing to connect with 5 people every day for the next 30 days. Join us and commit to reaching out to others as we work through this COVID-19 Crisis. Click HERE to hear our staff members talk about joining this challenge.
