Out of the Darkness Campus Walk

Every April, we come together at the Out of the Darkness Campus Walk to share hope, raise awareness, and support suicide prevention efforts both at OSU and across the nation. This event is a powerful reminder that suicide is preventable and that no one has to face their struggles alone. Although suicide is the second leading cause of death for teens and young adults, it often receives less attention and funding compared to other leading causes of death. But we have the power to change this. Together, we can shift the conversation about mental health and show that hope and support are always within reach. We warmly invite students, employees, and the entire community to join us for this meaningful gathering where we can be part of the change.
