Wagner Communities That Care (CTC) sponsored SOC Day on May 8th. SOC stands for Strengthening Our Community. The coalition used socks, as a way to encourage the community to decrease social and personal stigma with mental health and well-being by talking openly, reducing isolation, and increasing social support. Working together we can build capacity for a self-healing community. Community members wore silly socks to show they care about our community’s mental health and well-being. Over 130 individuals were SOC’d. To SOC someone, is a positive act of sharing a pair of silly socks with someone to show your support for them and let them know that you care about their mental wellness and overall health and well-being. Wagner CTC would like to thank everyone who participated!
