💙 Walk With Us. You’re Invited. On Saturday, 💙 Walk With Us. You’re Invited. On Saturday, we’ll gather for something simple and meaningful. A walk. A chance to show support. A moment to stand with survivors and remind our community that recovery happens together. You’re invited to join us for our casual community walk on April 25 at 11 a.m. This isn’t about pace or distance. It’s about presence. Walk beside survivors. Walk in honor of someone you love. Walk because prevention and recovery matter to you. Whether you come alone or bring a friend, you belong here. 👟 Join us in person on April 25 at 11 a.m. at Matthews United Methodist Church (801 S. Trade St., Matthews) 👟 Or participate from wherever you are through our virtual walk/run Let’s take this next step, together. 💙 🔗 Register today and make your plan to walk.

💙 Education Is Prevention Silence is one of th 💙 Education Is Prevention Silence is one of the greatest barriers survivors face. Silence can look like uncertainty about what to say. Silence can look like fear of saying the wrong thing. Silence can look like not knowing how to begin the conversation. But silence doesn’t protect people — conversation does. That’s why we Color It Blue. When you wear blue… When you tie a ribbon… When you display your “I Color It Blue” sign… You create an opening. An opening for questions. An opening for awareness. An opening for someone to feel seen, heard and supported. 💙 This April, Color It Blue to help gently dismantle silence, one conversation at a time. What’s one way you can open the door to conversation this week? #EducationIsPrevention #ColorItBlue #BreakTheSilence #StartTheConversation #BraveStep
💙 One Brave Thing Sometimes courage is quiet b 💙 One Brave Thing Sometimes courage is quiet but still visible. One Brave Thing you can do this week: Tie a blue ribbon to your mailbox. It’s simple. It takes just a moment. And it sends a powerful message that your home stands for awareness, prevention and support for survivors. When neighbors see blue ribbons appearing, conversations begin. Curiosity grows. Awareness spreads. That’s how change starts, one small action at a time. 💙 Tie a ribbon. 💙 Start a conversation. 💙 Color your community Blue. What’s one place you can tie a blue ribbon today? #OneBraveThing #ColorItBlue #StartTheConversation #PreventionThroughAwareness #BraveStep
