One of the organizations working year round to prevent suicide-related deaths and provide support to survivors is the Rhode Island chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

AFSP’s Rhode Island Out of Darkness Walks will take place on Oct. 5 and Oct. 19.

This conversation includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know is in need of help, call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org.
