The core of the Out of the Darkness Walks, the Community Walks created a movement and are held in hundreds of cities across the country, they give people the courage to open up about their own struggle or loss, and the platform to change our culture’s approach to mental health.

The 2017 Walk in Hays will be held September 16 at the Municipal Park.  Check in/Registration begins at 12:00 noon and the Walk begins at 1:00 pm.  To register or for more information go to https://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.event&eventID=5017 or call 785-543-1963.
