BE WELL COLLABORATIVE

INTRODUCING...Be Well Collaborative; working together for our community's health & well-being. We are a collective group of like-minded agencies, businesses, and individuals that have joined together to create a network of support within our community

MISSION - Be Well Collaborative elevates wellbeing among all in mind, body, and spirit by fostering communication and collaboration.

VISION - Be Well Collaborative is the hub connecting people in a thriving community.

VALUES - Be Well Collaborative is committed to the following Core Value that provide our foundation with and for our community.

• The first of our Core Values is to COOPERATE ACTIVELY by engaging to bridge gaps and create a network of support.
• Second, we INTERACT OPENLY by setting aside bias in all interactions to ensure progress.
• Third, we ensure COMMUNITY ADVOCACY through the incorporation of teamwork with and for an equitable and inclusive community.
• Fourth, we continuously IMPROVE & GROW in mind, body, and spirit to achieve ongoing development of mindset & lifestyle.

Be Well Collaborative was initiated by the Warren County YMCA to address mental wellness using a community care model. Through our growth and development, we have adjusted our approach to focus on mental wellness using whole health wellness for all. Member has grown and goals adapted to meet the needs of our community.

We meet monthly to learn about resources in our community and avenues to work together. Action Teams with specific goals meet separately to work with specific community groups and targeted tasks.

Working collaboratively, we strengthen the existing network of services, support, and connections so everyone can be well in our community.

Join us to learn more, volunteer, and help improve the well-being of our community. We meet on the 3rd Thursday of every month from 11:45 am - 1:00 pm at the Warren YMCA Program Room #4. 

The group decided to create a new website called Warren County Youth Network (https://www.warrencountyyouthnetwork.org/), created in an effort to share activities and resources with the youth of the county.  Click on link and check it out! The group has also worked to connect resources and network agencies to provide better services to residents.
