Why We're
Going
PURPLE

We’re going purple to make a meaningful difference by raising awareness about stigma, substance misuse, and the disease of addiction.

​

Our mission emphasizes the importance of education on overdose response, the protections offered by the Good Samaritan Law, and the critical support systems that foster wellness, healing, and recovery.

Our Impact

Safe at Home is dedicated to promoting community safety and wellness. Through our door-to-door outreach, we provide vital information on the dangers of prescription misuse, the importance of safe medication disposal, and substance use awareness. Learn how to respond effectively to overdoses, understand the protections offered by the Good Samaritan Law, and discover the 988 service, providing crucial emotional support. Together, we can create safer, healthier communities.

Safe in School A peer network in schools to empower youth to make healthy choices. They encourage overall wellness, development of coping skills and leadership in schools and communities. Through club meetings and events, students learn about healthy choices, decision-making skills, stress management, self-care, and empowerment. This allows them to cope with life’s challenges in a positive way while remaining substance-free. The school communities that form within Herren Project Clubs motivate students to be true to themselves and support one another.

Safe in Community is committed to fostering a safer, healthier environment for everyone. We engage residents, organizations, youth sport teams, caregivers, parents, and families through outreach with meaningful interactions and provide essential awareness education materials. Together, we strive to raise awareness and ensure access to vital support services. Join us in building a strong, informed community equipped to make positive choices and healing for a brighter future in Baltimore
