North Texas Out of The Darkness Walks

2 min read

Walking #TogetherToFightSuicide

2025 North Texas Out of the Darkness Community Walks give people the courage to open up about their own struggle or loss, and the platform to change our culture’s approach to mental health. Find your local event(s) below and follow the link to register and support! Friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost.

We serve 61 counties: if you do not see a walk in your area and want to help get one started, please email Ryan at [email protected]  For more information on the local Out of the Darkness Walk nearest you, choose a location below:
