BeWell

Be Well Programs at the YMCA of Warren County are here to support our community. YMCA locations and programs allow you to engage in a variety of ways that support your mental and physical health. Our Be Well initiatives began in 2022, growing out of the Whole Health Wellness Group. Using a Community Care Model, Be Well Programs further supportive connections firmly grounded in the foundation of mental wellness.

Be Well incorporates multiple components addressing specific aspects and populations.

Be Well Advisory Team is an oversight body providing guidance and direction for all things that fall under the Be Well umbrella. Each month we will meet to discuss the status, adjustments needed, upcoming plans, and new initiatives for the programs, events, & activities.

Be Well Collaborative meets monthly to connect agencies, groups, and organizations. The Collaborative focuses on networking to ensure awareness of resources and avenues to work further growth and progress. A different program or agency presents each month so we can continue to share and learn. Join us on the 3^rd Thursday of the month at 11:30am, held at the YMCA, 212 Lexington, Warren, PA unless otherwise noted on the schedule.
