AFSP Walks help to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention programs locally, across our state and nationally. Together we can open conversations and break the stigma that persists where mental health issues and suicide are concerned. AFSP’s goals include helping to intervene and hopefully prevent suicides, as well as support those who are survivors of loss to suicide. Walk with family, friends, neighbors and community members to help save lives and bring hope to those impacted by suicide.
