Last weekend we were honored to join the AFSP Out of Darkness Walk at Long Branch Park standing together with hundreds of community members, families, and advocates to support su***de prevention and mental health awareness. 💙💚

We connected with so many incredible people, shared vital resources like 988 and 211, and were especially inspired by the youth who showed up in full force to help break the stigma. Our next generation is truly leading the way toward hope and healing.

If you or someone you know needs support, you are never alone:

A heartfelt thank you to American Foundation for Su***de Prevention – Greater Central NY Chapter, the volunteers, and every organization who made this powerful event possible. Together, we’re creating a community rooted in compassion, connection, and hope. 💛
