This past week is the week SSPP HS supports “Talbot Goes Purple,” raising awareness to drug and substance abuse. The DeSpiritus class conducted some literature review and shares what they found with us this week — from the origins of “Talbot Goes Purple” and statistics to what the Church and the community is doing to help those who suffer from addiction and to what schools, specifically, are doing to bring this awareness to students.

If you know anyone who may be struggling with drug or substance addiction, please reach out to them and let them know you are there for them and that they are not alone. Assist them in getting help if they are open to it. The one thing we can all do is pray for them.

*This episode is marked as explicit because it discusses drug and substance abuse.
