The New York City 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.
Every dollar raised allows AFSP to invest in life-saving research, education, advocacy, and support for those impacted by suicide.
If you're looking for support and/or resources, please visit www.afsp.org/get-help and www.afsp.org/resources.
