American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention aims to save lives and offer hope.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) works to combat suicide through research, education, advocacy, and support. As part of this initiative, AFSP holds community walks to raise awareness.

Out of the Darkness Walks

The Out of the Darkness Walks help communities across the U.S. raise awareness and advocate for suicide prevention, showcasing the impact of united efforts. The Walks take place in cities nationwide where those affected by suicide and their supporters raise awareness and send the message that suicide can be preventable.

Our largest team yet, captained by Anne Theriault of Health Plan Pharmacy Operations, joined the 2023 Out of the Darkness Walk—the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s signature fund-raising event held in Portland.
