NATCA is committed to continuing to do everything we can to raise awareness and to lift the veil on mental health and suicide. One of the charities identified by the NATCA Charitable Foundation and our #NATCA2020 Convention Committee to be highlighted at our Convention next year in Houston is the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. AFSP is focused on raising awareness and is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.

YOU CAN HELP. There are more than 400 Out of the Darkness community walks planned across the country between now and Convention, in big and small communities in all 50 states. All NATCA members have the opportunity join AFSP’s effort to raise awareness and funds to invest in new research, create educational programs, advocate for public policy, and support survivors of suicide loss.

Find and register for a walk near you, and then share your participation with your NATCA family using this form. If you participate in more than one walk, feel free to complete this form multiple times!
