Stevens Institute's APO is teaming up with a few other organizations on campus and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to host Out of the Darkness Walk at Stevens. The purpose of the event is to help raise money and increase mental health awareness and suicide prevention.
When you walk in the Out of the Darkness Walks, you join the effort 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, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss. Thanks to Walkers and Donors like you, AFSP has been able to set a goal to reduce the annual suicide rate 20% by 2025.
