Hundreds of Walks Being Held Nationwide Through December 2016
Scappoose, OR – 06/15/2016 – Suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States, yet suicide is preventable. More than 500 people throughout Columbia County, OR are expected to participate in the first annual Columbia County, OR Out of the Darkness Community Walk hosted by The Scappoose Police Department & Columbia Community Mental Health at 11:00am, September, 10th 2016 at The Scappoose High School. This fundraising walk supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s local and national education and advocacy programs and its bold goal to reduce the annual rate of suicide by 20% by 2025.
We want to walk to raise awareness about this important mental health issue. Suicide touches one in five American families. We hope that by walking we reduce stigma, save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
The Columbia County, OR Out of the Darkness Walk is one of more than 375 Out of the Darkness Community Walks being held nationwide this year. The walks are expected to unite more than 250,000 walkers and raise millions for suicide prevention efforts. With this walk being our first annual Out of the Darkness walk the Scappoose Police Department and Columbia Community Mental Health hopes to achieve their goal and raise over 7,500.00 and around 500 participants or more.
Speakers at the Columbia County, OR Out of the Darkness Walk will include Scappoose Police Chief, Norm Miller, Lines for Life and United Way to name a few.
“These walks are about turning hope into action,” said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. “Suicide is a serious problem, but it’s a problem we can solve.
The research has shown us how to fight suicide, and if we keep up the fight the science is only going to get better, our culture will get smarter about mental health, and we’ll be able to save more people from dying from depression and other mental health conditions.”
Local sponsors for the Columbia County Out of the Darkness Community Walk include Columbia Community Mental Health; Grocery Outlet; Les Schwab; Dutch Bros.; Bi-Mart; Fred Meyer.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health through education and community programs, develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy, and provides support for those affected by suicide. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquartered in New York, and with a public policy office in Washington, D.C., AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states with programs and events nationwide. Learn more about AFSP in its latest Annual Report, and join the conversation on suicide prevention by following AFSP on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
