Prevention Council Participated in Oct. 25 Suicide Prevention Walk

The Litchfield Prevention Council participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Litchfield County Out of the Darkness Community Walk, held Oct. 25 at The White Memorial Conservation Center.

“A huge thank you to you and the Litchfield Prevention Council for both [having a table] at the 3rd Annual AFSP OOTD walk … and for the most generous donation. You have supported us for the past three years and we really appreciate it,” Janet Dember, Team Captain for the local walk, wrote in an email to Prevention Council Chair Gary Waugh.

Janet said there were more than 150 registered walkers and participants raised just shy of $45,000. 

The Litchfield County walk is among many taking place around the country, with hundreds of thousands of people walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks to prevent suicide and support AFSP’s mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
