Out of the Darkness Community Walks, like Shasta County's,are held in hundreds of communities across the country. They are the core ofthe Out of the Darkness movement, which began in 2004. These events give peoplethe courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platformto create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends, familymembers, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side, supporting each other andin memory of those we’ve lost.
