Rutgers University Out of the Darkness Campus Walk

Suicide touches us all, regardless of ability, age, gender identity, race, socio-economic status, sexual orientation, and much more. As we strive to open the lines of communication and decrease the fear and stigma of asking for help related to mental health concerns, we will be joining with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to bring awareness to Rutgers Campus.

We will join thousands of people across the country this spring in support of the foundation’s mission to raise awareness, save lives, and bring hope to those affected by suicide. As we walk on Sunday, we aim to remind students, faculty, and staff that we are a beloved community with unique experiences and stories. We’ll keep sharing these stories, hoping they will pull someone out of the darkness and point them towards the light. This event is open to all students/faculty/staff, family, and four-legged friends.
