Funds raised for AFSP support lifesaving research, advocacy, education, and programs that give hope and help prevent suicide in our communities.

** As the walk date approaches, the Northwest Indiana Walk Page (afsp.org/nwindana) will be updated with more details.

When you walk in the Out of the Darkness Walks, you join with hundreds of thousands of people to raise awareness and funds that allow the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to invest in new research, create educational programs based in current science, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss.

The Indiana Chapter won the prized Richard E. Kirkoff Overall Chapter of the Year Award (out of 74 AFSP Chapters) for the first time at our 2023 annual AFSP Chapter Leadership Conference.
The Indiana Chapter won Chapter of the Year Mid-size Market for our work in 2024 and 2025.

Why We Walk:
Every year suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, and yet suicide prevention doesn't get the attention and funding given to other leading causes of death. It's up to Walkers like us to make Mental Health a priority in Indiana.

#AFSPIndiana works year round to change the way our communities, schools, churches, professionals, family and friends talk and think about mental illness and suicide.
