About Out of the Darkness Walk: 

The Out of the Darkness Community Walk is a journey of remembrance, hope, and support. It unites our communities and provides an opportunity to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental health conditions have affected our lives and the lives of those we love and care about. If you're looking for support and/or resources, please visit www.afsp.org/get-help and www.afsp.org/resources.

Save Lives and Bring Hope to Those Affected by Suicide

Established in 1987, AFSP is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education, and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. AFSP creates a culture that's smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:

Below is what to know abou the learn to curl event:

Everyone should wear loose, comfortable, warm clothing - i.e., sweat pants, stretch pants, yoga pants, long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts, winter or warm socks, etc. Hats and gloves are optional but they are always easier to remove than to be cold. Regular jeans are not ideal but if that's all someone has, they will suffice. Stretchy jeans are better. The key here is loose fitting or stretchable clothing (easier to throw the stones) and warm layers. Many people will peel off an outer layer of clothing when they start sweeping vigorously.

Everyone should wear closed-toe athletic shoes with rubber soles, such as tennis shoes. No dress shoes, heels, sandals, boots, etc., as they can be dangerous on ice. We will supply grippers to put over everyone's shoes to help grip the ice a little better. We will also supply all the other equipment needed to curl - brooms, sliders, stabilizers and of course, stones.

Sweeping can work up the heart rate. There are water fountains at the rink but if you want to bring something else - bottled water, Gatorade - by all means bring it but only water is allowed on the ice.

As safety is our primary concern, we want to make certain everyone on the ice is as safe as possible. To that end, I would recommend that if anyone feels unsure about their stability on the ice, they should wear a helmet. Bike helmets work great. We want to make sure they're protected if they slip and fall. We've had a number of curlers who've worn helmets during these sessions. Also, if there are any curlers with back or knee problems that would prevent them from bending down to deliver the stone, we will have a stick available to use and can instruct them on how to use it.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. We want to accommodate everyone to the best of our abilities.
