Dear Colleagues,
Your Buffalo Center UUP is looking to put together a team of walkers for the UB Student Wellness (Counseling Services, Health Promotion and Student Health Services) first Out of the Darkness UB Campus Walk and Roll for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention on Saturday, April 13, 2024.
UB Student Wellness and our UB Walkin’ Team have participated in the AFSP Buffalo Out of the Darkness Community Walk and Roll since the inception in 2007. They have been active volunteers, walk committee members as well as walk chairs. They been honored to walk with our community every year to honor lives lost as well as create suicide prevention awareness and support. Their dedication to mental health and suicide prevention as well as support of AFSP has led them to create a Campus Walk this year. They are excited to bring the walk to our campus, and we are hoping to develop a Buffalo Center UUP Team to participate!
Here are the Walk Details:
