Mission Statement:
Our mission is to foster open, honest conversations that educate youth about the dangers of prescription pill misuse, drugs, and alcohol. By equipping them with the knowledge to make healthy choices, we empower them to prevent addiction. As a community, we are committed to eliminating stigma, ensuring that individuals struggling with substance use or mental health challenges feel supported and are not afraid to seek help.
Washington Goes Purple (WGP) is a substance use disorder awareness campaign dedicated to educating our youth and community about these dangers and starting the "new conversation"—one that addresses the risks of illegal opioids involving fentanyl and xylazine, polysubstance use while focusing on prevention strategies and eliminating stigma.
