Mitchell College invites the community to participate in A Story Unfinished: Walk for Suicide Prevention on Sunday, April 14, 2024, 11:30 a.m.–3 p.m. Hosted by the Mitchell College Mental Health Club and the Mitchell College Commuter Association, the event raises money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Participation is free, but the fundraising goal for the walk is $5,000. The event takes place rain or shine.
Participants can register online or on the day of the event as an individual or part of a new or existing team. Registration and check-in begin at 11:30 a.m. on the Mitchell College Green. For more information and to register online go to: https://forms.gle/YwDu6ZLHVoBfB2iNA
The community is welcome to join in the walk, remember loved ones lost to suicide, and support suicide prevention. “In our Community, Campus, and Overnight Walks, those affected by suicide – and those who support them – raise awareness and much-needed funds, strongly sending the message that suicide can be preventable and that no one is alone” (afsp.org). Together we can change the conversation and end the stigma behind suicide and mental health.
