Join us to help save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
The Mankato Out of the Darkness Walk is a journey of remembrance, hope, and support. It unites our communities and provides an opportunity to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental health conditions have affected our lives and the lives of those we care about and love.
If you're looking for support and/or resources, please visit www.afsp.org/get-help and www.afsp.org/resources.
