Why Walk & Talk For Hope?

Walk & Talk for Hope on November 30th is our initiative to promote mental wellness through movement and conversation. Our annual walk brings together community members to foster support, connection, and open dialogue around mental health. Join us VIRTUALLY in our tradition the Saturday after Thanksgiving to WALK & TALK about stuff that matters.

SURVIVORSHIP

Suicide and suicide attempts affect the health and well-being of friends, loved ones, co-workers, and the community. When people die by suicide, their surviving family and friends may experience shock, anger, guilt, symptoms of depression or anxiety, and may even experience thoughts of suicide themselves. – CDC

Healing is not about moving on or “getting over it,” it’s about learning to make peace with our pain and finding purpose in our lives again.

Dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide is complicated. We’re here help start the conversation & stop the stigma.  

We offer FREE mental health education for community groups, faith based groups, schools, and businesses who want to educate on suicide loss.

Monthly Webinars offered every first Thursday

Suicide is almost always related to mental health disorders and/or addiction issues. Our goal is to spread awareness and support likeminded organizations while we work towards out own initiatives.
