We officially launched Instagram @WISEuv on January 2 to connect with young people where they are. An incredible 71% of 18-29 year-olds use Instagram, and teenagers rate it their second preferred social media platform behind Snapchat. We hope that teenagers will see themselves reflected in our Instagram content and recognize WISE as a community resource that exists for them. This is one more opportunity to spread our prevention messaging far and wide.

In just a few short weeks, we have already hit over 100 followers! We strive to stay relevant and maximize engagement with our community.

Expect a mixture of WISE Words references, info graphics, and snippets of our prevention work.

Tune in: WISE Words

We kicked off the new year with a whole new set of WISE Words segments on the radio! The series focuses on gender stereotypes because they are the foundation of gender-based violence. If we eliminate gender boxes, we can eliminate the violence used to keep people in those boxes.

We have students of all ages representing Ray School, Hartford High School, Lebanon High School, Crossroads Academy, Woodstock Union High School, and Windsor High School.

T une in weekdays to WGXL 92.3 M-F around 7:30 am and 5:40 pm, The River 93.9 M-F 7:25 am and 5:10 pm, and 99Rock T-F 7:55 am.

Many thanks to you

As we wrap up the holiday giving season, we want to express our awe of your continued commitment to survivors and our mission. You support us in such amazing ways.

Our first Holiday Bazaar was a success because of the thoughtfulness of many individuals and community groups who dropped off gifts for survivors and their families. We are also grateful for our friends in the Woodstock community who thoughtfully rally every year as a secret Santa squad for a number of families. Every year we know we can count on your help to make sure that survivors and their families have gifts to open.

We extend our deepest gratitude for your generosity during the 2018 Annual Appeal. We are always appreciative of the tremendous support from our friends near and far. Your donations make it possible for us to support survivors and help further our prevention and education programming.

If you have not had a chance to send in your donation, it is not too late. We are still accepting donations for our annual appeal.
