                                            🌟 This past weekend, Sunstone Counseling proudly participated in two “Out of the Darkness” community walks, supporting the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention in Fairfax and Richmond. It was an inspiring experience, especially at the Fairfax event where I had the privilege of honoring Paul Adams by remembering him during the opening ceremonies. 
I was deeply moved by everyone who showed up to raise awareness and fundraise, breaking the stigma around su***de and emphasizing that there are always hope and help available. 
A heartfelt thank you to all the participants from Sunstone Counseling, including Maria Wilson, Dana Howell, Jenny Smith, and Valerie Mazloom in Richmond, as well as Ashley Fisher, Tessie Schonder, and Maria D’Agostino in Fairfax. Our Loudoun walkers from the September event, John Barkmeyer and Kris Harris, also deserve recognition!
I’m especially proud of my daughter, Shannon, who participated in two walks and is considering a future career in mental health.
