Orange County Out of the Darkness Community Walk

Save to Favorites

Hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Orange County Chapter, his event gives 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.
