Rooted in Wellness Campaign

Northwestern CSB’s Prevention and Wellness Services is gearing up for their 3rd annual “Rooted In” campaign. 2023’s message is “Rooted in Wellness” and will focus on eight different dimensions of wellness. “Each month we hope to encourage and challenge community members to get involved by either participating in a monthly challenge or attending a Lunch and Learn session.” Communications Specialist Corialise Pence stated. If you would like to learn more about the campaign please visit www.nwcsbwellness.com.

The goals of the campaign are to deliver the following through messages of wellness:

• To raise awareness about how being mentally well impacts not only one part of who we are.
• To encourage community members to become mentally well
• To foster connection and resilience in our communities by emphasizing wellness.

“Rooted in Wellness” is a collaborative project. Prevention and Wellness works closely with local coalitions to reach each community in their service area. These Include Family Youth Initiative, Page Alliance for Community Action, Warren Coalition and Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalition. In addition, the campaign hopes to bring awareness to 2 statewide initiatives: Activate Your Wellness and Lock and Talk Virginia.

Throughout each month, there will be a call to action with tips, activities, and education to build up a specific dimension of wellness. There are various ways to engage in the campaign including through social media. To stay up-to-date by following @NWCSBWellness on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for infographics, photos, resources and quotes.
