It takes three villages and a town: ‘Warwick Cares’

| 30 Apr 2023 | 01:16

We are pleased to announce “Warwick Cares,” a collaboration of the Villages of Warwick, Florida and Greenwood Lake and the Town of Warwick to address mental health and suicide prevention within our communities.

We invite you to a community launch event in honor of May Mental Health Awareness Month on Saturday, May 6, from 12 to 4 p.m. on the Village Green, Railroad Avenue, Warwick.

“Warwick Cares” has begun to place signs informing the public of the National Suicide and Crisis 988 Lifeline number, available 24/7.

The 988 Lifeline is for anyone in need of support who may be having a mental health, suicide, or a substance abuse crisis.

“Warwick Cares” is also a community project comprised of volunteer individuals, groups and local organizations who want to help save lives. Many are creating messages of hope on lawn signs, banners, and posters. One of the many ways to reach people in need of support.

“Warwick Cares” will also offer introductory mental health and suicide prevention training to the general public to learn the suicide warning signs, and how to help someone in a mental health crisis.

Come learn about “Warwick Cares.” Meet local organizations. Connect to resources, meet and greet others in the community. Get involved. We will also have music, local performers, poetry. It will be a day filled with hope, love, and support. We look forward to seeing you there.

It takes a village “Warwick Cares.”

In hope and healing,

Judy Battista, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Advocate.
