At AFSP, our mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.

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. Walk with Us.

Since 2002, millions of people have attended or helped support 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.

You don’t have to physically show up to an event to Walk with Us. Walking with Us means being a part of a movement to help stop suicide and provide support for those affected by this leading cause of death. Our nationwide network of Walks participants shares their collective voices to send the message out to communities everywhere that suicide can no longer hide in the shadows. You can walk with your wallet to donate necessary funds directly to the cause and allow our work to continue.

By walking with others, physically or metaphorically, 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, or DONATE directly to the cause, as we all take a step in the right direction: towards HOPE.
