OUT OF THE DARKNESS: Walking Together for Suicide Prevention *** We will match the first $500 in donations *** Friends, I’m reaching out today to share something deeply personal and important. This year, my family and I are taking part in the Out of the Darkness Community Walk with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. We are walking with a Team organized by Sam Sheeder to raise awareness and much-needed funds for suicide prevention, an issue that has touched us personally, as I know it has for so many others. Mental health struggles and suicide are often difficult to talk about, but they shouldn't be. It’s time we normalize these conversations—because mental health is just as important as physical health. By opening up, we can break the silence that surrounds these issues, offer support, and remind each other that none of us has to face this battle alone. I’m asking for your help, not just to honor those we've lost, but to provide hope for those who are still struggling. Your donation, no matter the size, will support AFSP's mission to fund research, create educational programs, and advocate for policies that save lives. Together, we can create a culture that prioritizes mental health and supports those in need. Please consider donating to our team’s fundraising efforts. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a world where talking about mental health is the norm, and where everyone has the support they need. Thank you. https://lnkd.in/eQfDbQQ8

*I know this is long, thank you for taking the time to read it* September is here and while timelines are full of pumpkin spice and hopes for cooler weather, it is also a time of change and transition. Dwindling daylight hours mark the beginnings of seasonal depression for many and the change from busy summer schedules to the quieter fall months can bring spikes in loneliness and isolation to those without strong support systems. It is for those who struggle that we bring awareness to Suicide Prevention Month and organizations such as To Write Love On Her Arms that provide resources to those who need them most. TWLOHA's mission is extremely personal and meaningful to me, and I share this in hopes of drawing attention to their cause. These are just a few ways to get involved and a couple of them don't cost a thing: 1) Take one of their virtual Suicide Prevention Trainings; these are $20 to join, take an hour and a half of your time, and the information covered may prove to be invaluable. Just like being able to perform CPR, this is a skill set that you hope to never need but can save lives if you are prepared. 2) Donate to the cause; I discovered this organization as a teenager and their resources have supported me in some of the hardest seasons of my life. I am only one of many who have found themselves in a situation where life felt too big, and support was scarce. It is because of the support of donors that so many of us have been able to access help and resources that otherwise would not have been available. 3) Stream for the cause; TWLOHA has a program for Twitch streamers to raise money for the organization and break down the stigma surrounding mental health by opening up the conversation. This is a great way to get involved doing something you'd already be doing, but for a cause, and they provide tons of resources to make your stream a success. 4) Purchase TWLOHA merch; if you're going to be sporting graphic tees/sweatshirts, they might as well have a message worth sharing. You never know who needs to read the words "Please Stay" or "You Are Enough" - do not underestimate the power you have to positively influence others, even passively. and finally, 5) BE KIND; You've heard it said that every person is fighting a battle you know nothing about - keep this in mind in your day-to-day life and meet others with empathy, kindness, and acceptance. Everyone has pain, everyone has insecurities, everyone has struggles, but not everyone has the same tools and resources to deal with them. When we lead with empathy and kindness, we create a space for others to feel accepted and safe. Community saves lives. Remember to check in on your friends - struggle looks different for everyone and sometimes just knowing someone cares enough to ask can be reason enough to stick around just a little bit longer. We all have the opportunity to create a better world, and it starts with being kind.

I am once again asking for your help. September is National Suicide Prevention Month. I know it's a dark topic but we need to talk about. In the USA alone, we lost around 50,000 people in 2023 and even more have attempted and even more than that suffer from mental health issues and suicidal ideation. There is a good chance that you are either directly or indirectly impacted by these facts. It may be you, a loved one, a coworker, a neighbor, etc. who is struggling. Maybe you or someone you know has lost someone. We need to openly talk about this subject. We need to bring it out of the darkness and into the light so that we can help everyone who is struggling. Life is precious and NO ONE should suffer alone. What's the ask? PLEASE DONATE and help me raise money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - San Francisco Bay Area chapter. The "Out of Darkness Walk" is on September 14 for San Francisco. You can donate via the link below. Even $5 can make a huge difference. If everyone who followed me donated $5 we'd have around $35k. https://lnkd.in/gEXPtUia If you are in the USA but do not live in San Francisco but still want to get involved, check out afsp.org to find your local chapter and see the ways you can help make a difference. If you are not in the USA, look into what your country or city offers. #nationalsuicidepreventionmonth #letssavelives #outofdarknesswalksf
