Out of the Darkness walks are on-going around the state this fall.

Angela Cummings with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention says it’s a way to gather people together to shed light on suicide, give people information on how to fight it, and help people to overcome the loss of losing someone to it. She says if you start hearing someone discussing taking their own life - it’s the right time to act.

She says the next step is to ask that person if they are okay and let them know that you want to be there to help.
