West Virginia Goes Purple 2025 is a statewide initiative led by The Hope Dealer Project in observance of National Recovery Month every September.
The Color purple is used to symbolize the struggle taking place in our communities across the Country as individuals, families, health care providers, and law enforcement agencies face the growing crisis of opioid abuse.
The Doddridge County Prevention Partnership (DCPP) is focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery resources available in our community. We emphasize the role local agencies play in combating this epidemic, by raising awareness, showing our support, inspiring and empowering those affected by substance use disorder and promote conversations around the dangers of substance misuse and abuse.
The DCPP encourages all Doddridge County citizens to observe this Septembers West Virginia Goes Purple by wearing purple, lighting up your homes or businesses with purple lights, tying a purple ribbon on your tree, fence, or door. Get creative, make a purple heart display. You can display purple in any way and show your support and increase awareness.
It's great to see communities in West Virginia coming together to support initiatives like West Virginia Goes Purple 2025. Raising awareness about opioid abuse and substance use disorder can help inspire those affected and promote crucial conversations. If you're involved with the Doddridge County Prevention Partnership (DCPP) or know someone who could benefit from their resources, it might be worth reaching out for more information on how to get involved or show support.
We would like to say thank you to all of our local organizations who have shown up with their support and to the Doddridge County Commission for signing the proclamation in support of the West Virginia Goes Purple 2025.
