Worcester County and Pocomoke City "Go Purple"

Worcester County will kick off National Recovery Month by “going purple.” In September, organizers of Worcester Goes Purple will launch a month-long campaign to promote conversations on substance abuse.

This observance celebrates the millions of Americans who are in recovery from mental and substance use disorders, reminding us that treatment is effective and that people can and do recover. It also serves to help reduce the stigma and misconceptions that cloud public understanding of mental and substance use disorders, potentially discouraging others from seeking help.
