June 1, 2026 – 2 min read
2026 Southern California Tri-Counties 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.
