ABERDEEN, SD (Hub City Radio)

September is Suicide Awareness and Prevention month and Gayla Martens, one of the organizers of the Out of the Darkness walk, talked to us about the importance of being there for those in need. Sometimes it’s as being an ear to listen or a shoulder for support, but she says.. it isn’t always that easy.

She also said waiting for someone to come to you isn’t enough.. reachout.

Martens went further into what to expect at the Out of the Darkness prevention walk.

The walk is open to all ages and you can walk as far as you like and are able, no requirements or costs involved.
