You take your car to get the oil changed in your car. You go to the doctor if you're not feeling well. Why wouldn't you take as much care of your mental health? The bottom line is, we don't. Which is why it is vitally important to check on each other. That's what The Out Of the Darkness Walk is all about. A community coming together, reinforcing that we are not alone. Join Team XTU
The Community Walks, held in hundreds of cities across the country, are the core of the Out of the Darkness movement, which began in 2004. These events give people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platform to create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost.
The health and safety of our participants, staff and volunteers will be our top priorities as we make decisions about event details in your community, and we'll continue to offer options to participate online and in your neighborhood.
Now, more than ever, it’s important to be there for one another and take steps to safeguard our mental health and prevent suicide.
