It's #WalkWednesday & we'd like to thank Pepco & the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1900 for sharing why it's important to them to support the #DC #OutoftheDarkness Walk & AFSP's mission to save lives & bring hope to those affected by suicide. #BeTheVoice #StopSuicide

"It's a beautiful song and the message behind it and the band's mission to shine a light on suicide prevention and mental health awareness has never been more important," shares Carrie Underwood on the new "Leave A Light On (Talk Away The Dark)" duet with Papa Roach.

Because of the delicate nature of the materials used to create these memorials, and out of our deepest respect for what these memorials represent, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this evening's Loudoun & Prince William Suicide Loss Memorials due to inclement weather. While there is no rain date for these events, we do hope you'll join us for one or more of our upcoming Out of the Darkness Community Walks in #PrinceWilliamCounty #Loudoun #Fairfax and #DC. At each, attendees will be able to create a luminaria in our Hope & Healing area and add it to the memorial displayed on stage during each event. Learn more at afsp.org/WalkNCAC.

TOMORROW: Please join us for one of the two Suicide Loss Memorials we're hosting in #leesburg & #Bristow. Luminarias made by our #OutoftheDarkness Walk participants & other loss survivors will be displayed in honor the 800,000 people we lose each year & all who have been impacted by suicide. Visitors will also have the opportunity to create their own luminaria on-site & add it to the memorial. Learn more & RSVP now at afsp.org/NCACevents.

“Someone else in this world had experienced similar thoughts and feelings to those I had wrestled with for more than two decades. It suddenly struck me: perhaps talking with other suicide loss survivors would allow me to feel understood.” https://lnkd.in/e_tSDA_p
