AFSP in Your Community Throughout the Year


AFSP Out of the Darkness Community Walks
Did you know that AFSP has activities locally throughout the year in almost all regions of the country?

Many of our Overnight Walkers, Crew Members, and Volunteers get involved in the Overnight and discover that AFSP also has a local presence in their area. If you would like to stay involved with AFSP and the Survivor Community throughout the year, there are usually ways for you to do that locally as well.

Chapters Across the Country

AFSP currently has 54 local Chapters spread out around the country and has a local presence that often spreads quite a distance beyond the Chapter area itself. Whether you are in New York or San Francisco, Minnesota or Arizona, there is likely a local AFSP Chapter near you.

The local Chapters are almost entirely Volunteer driven and rely on the help of people in their respective communities to help with organizing Community Walks and events, helping with outreach, and spreading the word. If you would like to be involved with AFSP in your area, contact your local Chapter today.

Events in Your Area

AFSP Chapters have events throughout the year, most notably the local Out of the Darkness Community Walks and the National Survivors of Suicide Day broadcast conference. These events are a great way for Survivors and supporters of AFSP to come together and use their shared experience in an effort to help facilitate healing and community.

You local Chapter can also help if you are looking for local resources and support services or would like to undergo our Facilitator Training or other programs.
