Welcome! Thank you for joining us for the Out of the Darkness Wellness Challenge! If you have not yet registered for an upcoming Out of the Darkness Experience, please be sure to get started by registering today.
We know the importance of building community while taking action for mental health and suicide prevention, which is why we've partnered with Kilter Rewards to kickoff our event season with an activity-tracking challenge.
The challenge will run for 6 weeks, starting Monday, August 3rd and ending Sunday, September 12th. During this time, you will take an action each day to show your support of the cause while earning points for completing activities that benefit your overall health and wellbeing, raise awareness for suicide prevention, and let others know you care.

Every chapter belongs to one of five regional Divisions - Northeastern, East Central, Central, Southern, and Western.

The possibilities are limitless but the goal is simple: take at least one action a day that brings a sense of mindfulness to why mental health and suicide prevention are important to you.
