Why is this Important

Sheriff James W. Phillips, Jr

We need to combat the growing heroin and opiate epidemic both immediately and long term. We are not only focused on enforcement, but also on educating the public. We need to continue increasing public awareness of the serious opioid problem, while still holding the dealers accountable.

Mike Starling, Chair of Dorchester Goes Purple

 All of us have friends and family members whose lives have been overtaken by opioids or other substances.   Dorchester is losing nearly one resident per month due to substance abuse.  I nearly lost my Mom to prescription pill abuse, but thankfully she accepted treatment in time for a full recovery.   "Awareness starts at home" is both the Purple Campaign motto -- and the truth.  Dorchester Goes Purple is designed to make us all aware of the danger signs and actions we can take before it is too late.
