Kindling Minds and our PAWS Wellness Support Teams are honored to be participating in the Indianapolis Out of the Darkness Walk on Saturday, September 12. 💚

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the walk, hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. AFSP is the largest private funder of suicide prevention research in the United States, with much of that funding made possible through more than 400 Out of the Darkness Walks held across the country.

Kindling Minds and our PAWS Wellness Support dogs will be there sparking connection, comfort, and joy with everyone they meet. We are grateful to join this community walk to raise awareness, support one another, honor and remember loved ones, and help fund critical efforts to protect mental health and prevent suicide.

We hope to see you there as we walk together in support, remembrance, and hope. 💛
