Purple Inc. Begins Parent Alumni Program

A few weeks ago, Lynn Bosworth, the mother of one of our alumni, approached Brett and Joel about a parent alumni program. Her idea is to "create an environment in which Purple alumni, parents, and friends become and stay connected to Purple and support it with their work, wisdom, and capabilities".


What a wonderful idea! The clients who graduate have an alumni program that allows them to stay involved with the program and with each other, why shouldn't the parents? Alcohol and drug addiction affects the entire family unit and often the family members work just as hard as the clients.


So, of course, we were on board to help in any way we can. In the next couple of days, an email will be sent out to the families requesting their support and attendance at an organizational meeting to discuss the formation of the program. The meeting will be held at Purple at 7:00 pm on April 7, 2009.
