The Buffalo Out of the Darkness Walk is the local event for the WNY Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Out of the Darkness Walks in the month of September put the spotlight on National Suicide Prevention Month acrosss the country in hundreds of communities. Our mission is to spread hope, decrease mental health stigma and provide support to survivors of suicide loss and those struggling with mental health issues. This event brings together survivors, those living with mental illness, and supporters to raise money for the cause. The majority of the money raised goes back into education programs, community outreach, research and advocacy. All the programs and resources we offer are 100% free.
