Dozens March for Suicide Awareness and Prevention Matt Hoisch 9-14-20

September is National Suicide Prevention and Awareness Month. Earlier this week, dozens of people—and a good number of dogs—marched from Elks Park to Town Park for the Out of the Darkness Walk. This was the fourth walk put on in Telluride by Tri-County Health Network and the Colorado Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention to spread awareness, end stigma, and raise money for suicide prevention and support.

The phone number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is  1-800-273-8255. Services are available 24/7 in English and Spanish.
