Shaw Writes Weekly Article on Out of the Darkness Walk
Kelly Shaw, outreach coordinator and clinical psychology resident at the University of Maine Counseling Center, wrote an article for The Weekly about the sixth annual Out of the Darkness Community Walk that will be held Oct. 5 on the UMaine campus. Shaw serves on the organizing committee of the event that’s hosted by the UMaine Counseling Center and St. Joseph Healthcare, in conjunction with several area sponsors. Funds raised from the noncompetitive 5K walk through campus will benefit research initiatives of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). “Bringing suicide ‘Out of the Darkness’ is a critical step in getting a person at risk the support they so desperately need,” Shaw wrote.
