This year, Riverside will be hosting the annual Out of the Darkness Walk, at our Bourbonnais Campus. The walk will take place on Saturday, October 8 at 10 am, with registration beginning at 9 am.

What is the Out of The Darkness Walk?

The Out of the Darkness Walk raises funds to donate to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It helps patients, people, and families get the help they need and spreads awareness to ????fight the stigma???? against mental health. There will be a bead table, with each color bead representing why you are there for the walk. There will be a memorial area where chalk will be available to memorialize loved ones lost to suicide. 

We can make a really big impact, and show our community how much we care, and that we’re here to help. 

There are a couple of different ways you can help:

-Sign up to walk with our team (Riverside Behavioral Medicine)

-Make a donation. No amount is too small. 

-Share this link with your friends and family so we can make this the biggest and best walk yet!

If there are any questions, reach out to Brittany Kinner at bkinner@rhc.net

Make sure to order your t-shirt in time to wear it for the Out of Darkness Walk on Saturday, October 8th. Proceeds from the shirts benefit AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk.

Orders will start shipping September 23rd.
