Stand Up Against Substance Abuse
Sussex County Health Coalition is poised to launch a robust Drug Free Awareness Campaign beginning with the city of Seaford. This "Delaware Goes Purple" campaign is in conjunction with the Herren Project and will join forces with the state of Delaware to Stand Up Against Substance Abuse.
“We are losing a Delawarean every 22 hours to overdose. Addiction is a disease that touches nearly every family in our state, regardless of what zip code you live in,” said Lt. Governor Bethany Hall-Long “I am proud of the work we are doing to support those battling addiction, as well as their families, with the services they need. Delaware Goes Purple is playing a key role in raising awareness and erasing the stigma around addiction. No one has to struggle alone”
"The State of Delaware, The Sussex County Health Coalition and the city of Seaford would like to thank Lucie Hughes from Tidewater Rotary and Sheriff Joe Gamble for their willingness to share in the success of Talbot Goes Purple so that collectively we can impact the whole of Delmarva. We join them in this important awareness campaign to reduce the stigma of addiction and to spread the message of hope and healing. To see what they are doing, visit:
