Description
Join us for the DeKalb Out of the Darkness Walk, an event dedicated to raising awareness and support for suicide prevention in our community. Hosted by Curran Contracting and Curran Group , this walk is part of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) national movement to bring hope to those affected by suicide and to create a culture that’s smart about mental health.
Why We Walk
Every step we take is a step toward a world without suicide. The Out of the Darkness Walk is a powerful opportunity to honor loved ones lost, support survivors, and connect with others who are passionate about mental health advocacy. It’s a moment to come together as a community and show that no one walks alone.
