UAB Psychiatry Supports AFSP Walk for 4th Consecutive Year

The UAB Department of Psychiatry participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) Out of the Darkness Walk for the 4th year in a row at Heardmont Park on November 6th, 2011. The Alabama Chapter of AFSP hosted several walks throughout the state this year with over $144,000 raised and more than 2,000 people participating. UAB Psychiatry had a great team this year with faculty, staff, residents, and family members participating. We want to thank all of those that participated in the walk and encourage everyone in the Alabama community to join us next year.
