In a momentous event, the Herren Organizations, alongside Governor Dan McKee of Rhode Island and Mayor Brett Smiley of Providence, are poised to illuminate the State House Dome in a vibrant purple hue. This symbolic gesture signifies a profound commitment to combat substance misuse while celebrating recovery and overall wellness. The initiative represents a significant stride in the organization’s mission to provide support, inspiration, and empowerment to those grappling with substance-use disorder.
In its ongoing dedication to nurturing healthy communities, the Herren Organizations are launching the fifth annual Wellness Week with Herren. This transformative initiative aims to inspire individuals and communities not only in Rhode Island but also beyond its borders. From March 3 to March 9, 2024, the Rhode Island State House Dome will radiate a luminous purple glow, underscoring the importance of health and wellbeing in the ongoing battle against substance-use disorders.
Chris Herren, Motivational Speaker, Recovery Advocate, and Founder of Herren Project, Herren Talks, and Herren Wellness, emphasized the organization’s belief that providing individuals with tools for healthy living and coping mechanisms plays a crucial role in both preventing and recovering from substance-use disorders. “The lighting of the State House Dome in purple is a powerful symbol of our commitment to spreading awareness and empowering those affected by the disease of addiction,” said Herren.
The participation of Governor McKee and Mayor Smiley adds weight to the event, highlighting the collaborative efforts between government and community organizations in addressing substance misuse issues and promoting wellness initiatives.
The Herren Organizations extend an invitation to individuals, families, and communities across Rhode Island and the nation to join in this collective effort. By uniting in the practice of prevention and acknowledging the profound journey of recovery, a ripple effect of positive change can extend beyond the confines of a single week.
The radiant purple glow of the State House dome serves as a beacon of hope, fostering unity and resilience in the face of substance misuse. It stands as a visual testament to the strength found in shared commitment and a shared vision for a healthier, more compassionate society.
