The Purple Light Project (PLP) was created in 2020 to bring support to our behavioral health patients. PLP represent our commitment to serving our patients 24/7, someone is always here if you or someone you know, needs help. Since its inception, the need has grown and PLP strives to bring support to the entire behavioral health system. Our patients benefit from food vouchers, safe transportation to a support system’s residence, warm winter clothing, dignity and hygiene items or human experience items for while they are in treatment with us.
