Cunningham Speaks with WABI About Upcoming Suicide Prevention Walk

Wanda Cunningham, an administrative specialist at the University of Maine Counseling Center, shared her personal story about suicide with WABI (Channel 5) ahead of the sixth annual Out of the Darkness Community Walk on Oct. 5 that she helped organize. The event is hosted by the UMaine Counseling Center and St. Joseph Healthcare, in conjunction with several area sponsors. Funds raised from the walk will benefit research initiatives of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Cunningham spoke about her husband’s death and the stigma that exists related to suicide. “What I’m left with is what I can do to go forward with my life and perhaps make things better for other people,” she said.
