On October 25 I particiapted in the Out of the Darkness Support Walk 2008. It was an early morning and one that many showed up ready to show support. It was a walk to remember the people who have lost their life to suicide and to celebrate the new research, treatment options and medications that are now available. I am a mental health therapist and I work with people that are in crisis. I know that mental illness has a stigma and I feel that it is my purpose to go out and be an advocate and educator. I want to thank the participants that came out for this walk and for all the people behind the scenes. What you do makes a difference, and I was honored to be a part of that.
