National Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month – a moment that serves as a powerful reminder that there are steps we all must take in looking out for loved ones, the people in our community, and those who have been impacted by this leading cause of death.
It’s time to take one big step together.
Since 2002, millions of people have attended the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s OUT OF THE DARKNESS WALKS in communities across the country, raising awareness and funds that go toward education programs, advocacy efforts, and scientific research that reveals how we can save more lives.
By walking with others, we find comfort in knowing we are not alone, and that we are connected through great purpose to healing and support. So join us – as parents, neighbors, family members, classmates and colleagues – and find an Out of the Darkness Walk near you, as we all take a step in the right direction: towards HOPE.
