Dirty Hands Project

Despite many “shelter in place” warnings due to storms…We did it! Team DHP finished the AFSP Overnight Walk along side 2000 others all focused on saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by su***de.

We walked with a woman who lost her child exactly one year after Ty’s passing. We shared names and stories and laughs and tears. We held each others’ grief for a bit and felt empowered to make a change. It was her first walk and she planned to do it alone. The universe had other plans.

In addition to raising funds, the Overnight Walk helps survivors of su***de feel less alone. We are thankful to have been even a small part of such a powerful movement.

Day 24 of Hike for a Change: Today we shine a light on . Stay; For Life is a non-profit organization whose mission is to save lives by advocating for men’s mental health and su***de prevention.

Stay; For Life offers “Stay; Man to Man Peer Support Group” - a comfortable place where guys can meet to chat about something that has been on their chest for a while, help other guys deal with their troubles, or just hang back and take it all in - to know they are not alone in all of this. The group will be led by a regular guy - not a mental health professional - to keep things as low-key and laid back as possible. ​

Weekly meetings are FREE and aim to help guys with the everyday stress or mental health challenges they face, in a non-judgmental, supportive and de-stigmatized environment. If nothing else, you get to hang out with some guys, grab a snack, come back and do it again next week. What do you have to lose? ​

FMI or questions, please reach out to Donnie Whitten at [email protected] and be sure to follow on social.
