Wellbeing Collaborative
Previously the Chariho Youth Task Force
We envision a society driven toward physical and mental well-being created through collaboration, education, and activism to promote positive community climate.
Wishing everyone who celebrates a Merry Christmas!
Many people believe that they will begin to sober up and be able to drive safely once they stop drinking and have a cup of coffee but alcohol continues to have an effect.
Drunk driving is a problem on our nation’s roads every day, but it’s more prevalent during the holidays.
Westerly Rec has two signs ready to put up! 🎉
Thank you for all you do for the children and families in Westerly ❤️
