This past Saturday, our Director of the 988 Lifeline, Heather, joined the "Out of Darkness" walk in Lake Charles, Louisiana, hosted by the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention. This annual event raises awareness and funds for su***de prevention, honoring those we've lost and supporting those facing mental health challenges. The AFSP is making strides with programs like "Talk Saves Lives," vital research, advocacy, and support for survivors. Together, we’re fostering hope and driving change!

☀️☀️☀️Saturday was a beautiful day for a walk supporting an inspiring cause. Our 988 Helpline Director, Heather Kleckinger, joined the Northwest Louisiana Out of Darkness Walk & Community Event at Betty Virginia Park. Hosted by the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention - Louisiana Chapter, this event embodies the mission of saving lives and offering hope to those affected by su***de. Remember, we are not a crisis line; if you are in crisis, call or text 988. It was an uplifting event to be a part of. 💙💙💙

What a great turnout at the NW Louisiana Youth Summit that was held at Bill Cockrell Community Center today!

Complimentary breakfast and lunch were generally provided. And of course our very own Ms. Dianna was there representing as always. 💜💜💜 We sure hope you were able to stop by her table and talk to her.
