ATLANTIC BEACH, N.C. — If you see people wearing teal T-shirts around Atlantic Beach this summer, it’s actually a sign of hope. 

They’re with the Hope Mission of Coastal Carolina, an organization with a goal of helping people overcome substance abuse and break the stigma surrounding it. 

The nonprofit’s “Peers on the Beach” program is there to help provide resources to those who may be struggling with addiction and need support.
