Suicide prevention starts with everyday heroes like you. The Out of the Darkness Walk from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention gives people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platform to raise awareness about mental health and suicide prevention. Friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost.

Create or Join a Team
Whether you are walking with you colleagues, or family and friends, this is the best way to get everyone together under the same banner.
Team Captains create the team, email team members, organize team fundraisers, and lead the team the day of the event. Not ready to lead a team yet? No problem! If someone else is willing to be the Team Captain you can always register as a team member by selecting "join a team."
Participate as an Individual
Although no one ever walks alone, you can always register as an individual and meet other members of the community the day of the event.
