The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is responsible for funding and maintaining suicide prevention supports across the country. This includes 9-8-8, the free service that allows those struggling to call or text to talk to someone and receive support. One of AFSP’s largest fundraisers is the Out of the Darkness Walk that occurs all across the country. This year, Team CSCA will be represented at all five Connecticut walks! Participants may fundraise individually toward the team goal.
 
Beginning August 8, we will also have the option of ordering a matching shirt with all proceeds going to AFSP. To register to walk with us, go to https://supporting.afsp.org, find the Connecticut walk you would like to attend, and join Team Connecticut School Counselor Association! You can also use the registration link below that is specific to the location/date of your choice.
 
For further assistance or questions, please contact CSCA PR chair Rae Slattery via social media message. Thank you and we look forward to supporting the AFSP and walking with you all!
