Out of the Darkness
Join us in saving lives and bringing hope!
This year Sound Health and Wellness is participating in the Out of the Darkness Walks (a nationwide effort) organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
According to the AFSP suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S. In 2022 there were 49K+ Americans who died by suicide.
Based on the 2022 National Survey of Drug Use and Mental Health it is estimated that 0.6% of the adults aged 18 or older made at least one suicide attempt. This translates to approximately 1.6M adults.
Walk with us to prevent suicide. The AFSP truly believes walkers like us make a difference. Together the conversation about mental health can be changed and stop the tragic loss of life. There are many ways to support our community efforts:
