Volunteer and Join Events to Support Better Mental Health

Bring your energy, your skills, and your heart. Volunteering is a powerful way to lift up mental‑health organizations.

Giving your time can be just as powerful as giving in other ways. Volunteering or taking part in events with Take This and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) lets you support mental‑health work in ways that directly strengthen communities.

Events

In addition, you can take part in meaningful events, walks and programs that raise money and help educate communities.

These events create community, raise awareness, and help fund programs that change lives. You can take part in:

• Out of the Darkness Walks and Hikes: community walks honoring loved ones and supporting prevention throguh fundraising and donations.
