Hope Walks Here
#StopSuicide
The Out of the Darkness Campus Walks are the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's (AFSP) signature student fundraising series, designed to engage youth and young adults in the fight to prevent suicide, the third leading cause of death among people ages 15-24. With your efforts, walking and fundraising, you are helping make suicide prevention and mental health awareness a national priority.
Thank YOU for taking strides to help us to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide!

83 cents of every donor dollar directly supports our four focus areas:
Research
Discovering better ways to prevent suicide through research. Findings from our studies have shaped prevention efforts around the world. Today, AFSP is the leading private funders of suicide prevention research.
Education
Delivering effective suicide prevention programs to schools, communities and workplaces, showing people how to recognize signs of distress and connect those suffering with help. Our Talk Saves Lives™ and More than Sad Programs have taught over a million people how to be smart about mental health.
Support
Providing support through initiatives like Healing Conversations, which connects trained loss survivors with people whose grief is recent, and events across the country for international Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. The Interactive Screening Program, available for schools, workplaces, and other organizations, provides an anonymous way to engage with counselors, for those least likely to seek help.
Advocacy
Pushing for key federal and state legislation, such as mandatory suicide prevention training for clinicians and educators, and funding for mental health resources, with the help of thousands of volunteer advocates across the country.
