Out of the Darkness Community Walk
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Lot A at Oracle Park
(see times)
Across the San Francisco Bay Area this Fall, thousands of participants and volunteers will come together for annual community walks that support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
2019 marks the 15th year of the San Francisco walk, which is one of five walks taking place in the San Francisco Bay Area this Fall. Community walks also take place in San Jose, Santa Rosa, Oakley and Oakland. Each walk provides support and healing for survivors of suicide loss and those with lived experience around suicide and mental illness. Funds raised by walk participants support the Greater San Francisco Bay Area Chapter's suicide prevention and outreach initiatives. In 2018, SF Bay Area community walks raised over half a million dollars in total and drew over 4,000 people from across the region.
AFSP's San Francisco Bay Area walks provide critical funding for local chapter activities, as well as funding for AFSP's national programs. In addition to providing Mental Health First Aid and Youth Mental Health First Aid training events, the chapter presented Talk Saves Lives to nearly 30 groups and businesses across the Bay Area. Within the past two years, the chapter has hosted national conferences that address suicide prevention and outreach for at risk communities, including veterans and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The chapter's activities also include advocacy at the state and federal levels.
The San Francisco Walk is at a NEW LOCATION this year, located at Lot A at Oracle Park.
