The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) will host its Out of the Darkness Community Walk in HAMDEN. We hope you will consider walking with us as we travel the FARMINGTON CANAL TRAIL, WHITNEY and SHERMAN AVENUE, to raise awareness and funds for suicide prevention.
A major goal of this event is to show support for the families and friends of the 33,000 Americans who die by suicide, and the 20 million people who suffer from depression, each year. Support of the community walks also helps to raise funds for suicide prevention research and educational programs, erase the stigma surrounding suicide and its causes, and encourage those who are suffering from mental illness to see treatment.
