Join the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Jacksonville Out of the Darkness Community Walk.

Just imagine if we could walk together toward a world without suicide. Since 2002, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Walks have brought friends, neighbors, family members and colleagues together to walk through their communities to raise public awareness and funds to support suicide prevention, including education programs in local schools and workplaces; support for those who’ve lost loved ones; advocacy for critical mental health and suicide prevention legislation; and scientific research that helps us learn more how we can save more lives.

WHEN: Saturday, November 1, 2025, Registration 9:00 a.m., Program/Walk 10:00 a.m.

WHERE: Seawalk Pavilion, Jacksonville Beach

WHAT: This walk will support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s education, research and support for survivors of suicide loss. In addition to raising awareness and funds to fight suicide, the walks give those who attend a chance to connect with others and know they are not alone, whether they walk in memory or in support of a loved one or in honor of their own mental health journey.

The Out of the Darkness walks help raise much needed funds for suicide prevention. In 2024, AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Community Walks raised $22 million for suicide prevention. These critical funds go directly to AFSP’s lifesaving research, education, advocacy and survivor support programming.

The Jacksonville Walk is also an opportunity to be there for one another, including ourselves, when someone is struggling. By participating, you are stepping into a growing movement of people sending the message that suicide can be prevented and that together, we can do more to save lives and support everyone’s mental health.
