Wearing blue sounds small until you see what it does for people who have been carrying this alone. We sit down with Marina Thompson, Area Director for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), to talk about suicide prevention in a way that is honest, practical, and grounded in community. She explains the meaning behind the Out of the Darkness Community Walk bead colors, from loss and survival to supporting someone in crisis and LGBTQ+ support, and why that simple visual language helps people feel seen without having to explain everything out loud.
We also unpack what the walk experience is actually like for first-timers: teams, opening ceremonies, a resource fair, and a hopeful tone that still makes room for grief. If you have ever wanted to show support but worried about bringing attention to yourself, this conversation helps you understand what to expect and how to participate in a way that feels safe. For Montgomery County listeners, we also share key details about the local walk at Martin Luther King Park on September 19 at 9 a.m.
