Please join us and help save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
The Out of the Darkness Chicagoland 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. By registering for the Chicagoland Walk, you are joining a strong community united in an effort to fight suicide.
Every dollar you raise through the Chicagoland Walk 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.
