Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition
In May 2021, the City of Noblesville in partnership with Noblesville Schools officially launched the Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition. The group is focused on the enhancement of wellness across the spectrum of health including mind, body, and emotional wellness by improving community-wide resources and processes.
“May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we knew it was a great opportunity to announce that we have been working diligently with our community partners toward a healthier city and we are ready to officially launch our Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition,” Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen said. “We understand this past year has been a struggle for many people and the focus on wellbeing is more important now than ever before. With the help of our community partners, we are collecting actionable data to allow for us to create lasting changes in the realm of wellness.”
Wellbeing Survey
The Noblesville Wellbeing Coalition invited the public to take the Noblesville Wellbeing Survey to measure a baseline of wellbeing in our community to work toward a happier, healthier Noblesville. The survey was available in July and August 2020 and is confidential. Any question could be skipped and no personally identifiable information was collected.
Those interested in the outcome of the community survey can review the results:
