Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk

Blue Devil Strong at Walla Walla High School in conjunction with Walla Walla Department of Community Health, W2 for Drug Free Youth and Reach Out Walla Walla will be hosting an Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk on May 10 from 8 to 9 p.m. at the Dave Klicker Track at Walla Walla High School.

The Out of the Darkness Community Walk is a journey of remembrance and a walk that unites a community – a time to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental illness have affected our lives and our loved ones. Participants will wear honor beads. Each color shows their personal connection to the cause, and helps to identify others who understand the experience.

Walla Walla High School students Macy Quinn-Sears and Erin Gerola are the lead students for this event. Behavior Health Prevention Specialist Peggy Needham of the Walla Walla County Department of Community Health serves as the Blue Devil Strong Advisor. Contact Needham for additional information or to secure space for an informational booth.
