The Reserves Network Participates in American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Hike for Hope

Post by:The Reserves Network April 20, 2023

On Saturday, April 15, 2023, The Reserves Network (TRN) participated in the 1st annual Fort Bend Hike for Hope as an event sponsor in collaboration with the Connor Bowen Foundation. The Hike for Hope is a 5k walk and fundraiser organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) with the aim of raising funds for suicide prevention, support, and education. This year’s event was a huge success, with the event raising a total of $52, 417!

Hike for Hope Raises Funds for Suicide Prevention

The Hike for Hope is an annual event that brings together individuals and organizations to raise funds for suicide prevention. This walk and other similar community events are opportunities to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental illness have affected our lives and our loved ones. During the walk, attendees gathered, visited sponsors, observed a moment of silence, hugged, cried, shared their stories and wore honor beads – a way to pay tribute to a loved one lost, a personal struggle or a victory.

The funds raised at the event are donated to the AFSP, a voluntary health organization that is committed to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. The overall fundraising goal for Saturday’s event was $10,000, but with the help of sponsors, the 641 participants and the 63 teams, a total of $52,417 was raised.

The Reserves Network and Connor Bowen Foundation Raise $2,020

TRN and the Connor Bowen Foundation were proud to sponsor and participate in the Fort Bend Hike for Hope. The two organizations worked together to raise funds for suicide prevention, with a total of $2,020 raised in addition to their sponsorship of $2,500. The funds were donated to the AFSP, which will use the donations to provide research, advocacy, education, and support for individuals and families affected by suicide.

Suicide Prevention: A Critical Cause

Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States, with nearly 48,000 people dying by suicide in 2021. The impact of suicide extends far beyond those who take their own lives, affecting family members, friends, and entire communities. Suicide is a complex issue that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. It’s essential that we raise awareness about the importance of suicide prevention and work together to prevent such tragedies from occurring.

Ways to Become an Advocate for Suicide Prevention

There are many ways to become an advocate for suicide prevention. One way is to educate yourself about the warning signs and risk factors associated with suicide. Some of the warning signs of suicide include:

  • Talking about having no reason to live or being a burden to others
  • Feeling hopeless, helpless or trapped
  • Withdrawing from social activities
  • Increased use of alcohol and drugs
  • Acting recklessly or engaging in risky behaviors
  • Feeling trapped or in unbearable pain

If you notice any of these warning signs in yourself or someone else, it’s important to take action. You can connect with a mental health professional, reach out to a crisis helpline, or contact a loved one for support.

Another way to become an advocate is to get involved in organizations like the AFSP. You can participate in events like the Hike for Hope, donate to mental health non-profits, or volunteer your time to help raise awareness and support for suicide prevention efforts.

Seeking Help in a Crisis

If you or someone you know is in a crisis, it’s important to seek help immediately. You can call or text the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988, or text TALK to 741741 to connect with a trained crisis counselor. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, and there is no shame in reaching out for support when you need it.
