Washington County Launches ‘Threads of Hope’

You are not alone. Need help now? call 2-1-1
HAGERSTOWN, MD (December 3, 2020) – Washington County Government, in partnership with the Washington County Health Department, announces the launch of Threads of Hope, a public messaging outreach campaign focused around behavioral health. We recognize that COVID-19 has impacted everyone, and we all respond differently. If you or a loved one is struggling with anxiety, depression, thoughts of suicide, or substance use, please dial 2-1-1. For a more in-depth look at resources available in Washington County, please visit www.washcohope.com.
 
 
To partner with the community for this outreach campaign, golden thread bracelets will be given to businesses and community organizations across Washington County who would like to be a Threads of Hope partner. All partners are asked to hand out bracelets to anyone who may need encouragement during this season. If you are a business or organization in Washington County that would like to get involved, please sign-up by clicking on the button below.
 
Over 50 community members have volunteered to make the bracelets that will establish a point of connection through the winter months. The County recognizes that nothing about this year has been normal. As we enter into the winter months, staying connected may become more difficult. It is okay to reach out for help. Citizens are encouraged to check on your friends and family members. Find creative ways to connect virtually or send cards of encouragement in the mail. We will get through this is together.
