Chapter Out of the Darkness Walks
Our Community Out of the Darkness Walks, held in hundreds of cities across the country, are the core of the Out of the Darkness movement, which began in 2004. These events give people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platform to create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost.
What’s Your Bead Color?
Losing someone to suicide or struggling with a mental illness can feel like no one understands what you are going through. Each color shows our personal connection to the cause and helps us identify others who understand our experience.
