Welcome to the Out of the Darkness
Mississippi Gulf Coast Walk

The Out of the Darkness Community 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 love and care about. If you're looking for support and/or resources, please visit www.afsp.org/get-help and www.afsp.org/resources.
