Walk With UsThe Memphis 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. By registering for the walk on October 22, 2023, you are joining a strong community united in an effort to fight suicide while showing up for yourself, recognizing and honoring those you love, raising awareness, educating communities, supporting one another, and sharing hope. Every dollar you raise through the Memphis Walk allows AFSP to invest in life-saving research, education, advocacy, and support for those impacted by suicide. Walk Date: 10/22/2023 If you're looking for support and/or resources, please visit www.afsp.org/get-help and www.afsp.org/resources. |
