We’re excited to bring back this yearly tradition as we get ready for the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk for Su***de Prevention. Poster making is a fun way to connect with our members, get involved with campus events, and create something meaningful for the walk.

Join us on Thursday April 16th for the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk for Su***de Prevention in front of the WELL 💙

We will be tabling starting at 4:00 PM before the event begins, talking about our club, helping out with the event, and getting ready to walk together as a team. If you are interested in joining our team for the walk, you can find the link in our bio.

The event will include tabling, speeches, finding the beads that best represent our stories and what this walk means to us, and the walk itself. This is always such a meaningful event and a chance to come together, raise awareness, support one another, and honor those affected by su***de.

We hope to see you there.

Check out our next post for details on our poster making event as we get ready for the walk!

Your story could be the one that makes someone feel less alone.

For this year’s Out of the Darkness Walk, we are looking for student speakers who are willing to share their personal stories surrounding mental health, su***de prevention, resilience, healing, or loss.

Speaking is not about having all the answers. It is about showing that there is strength in vulnerability, that every voice matters, and that healing is possible.

By sharing your story, you can help others feel seen, supported, and less alone.

Interested in speaking at this year’s walk? Scan the QR code to sign up by Friday, April 3. 💙
