The newly developed well-being branch of Douglas County’s pandemic response team has launched its first project: a hashtag campaign meant to help residents stay positive.
Margaret Weisbrod Morris, chief executive officer of the Lawrence Arts Center, is one of the leaders of the well-being branch. She said it was established to pay more heed to the community’s mental health, “because it’s been such a long slog, the pandemic.”
The team’s first project is an effort to spread smiles while also leading residents to wellness resources by using and spreading the hashtag #DGKSâ¥.
