Public Affairs Director Jon Michaels (since 1977) talks with Lisa Ottmar, Development Director at the Helpline, and Mike Keller, Suicide Prevention and Outreach Program Director, about the Suicide Walk fundraiser on June 6.

From website:

This year's Step Forward to Prevent Suicide Walk will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, at 9:00am at Fawick Park in Sioux Falls. After we hear a story of hope and healing from guest speakers Dodi and Brian Young, names of those lost to suicide will be read aloud during the Remembrance Ceremony. Then the event will conclude with a 1.5 mile walk from Fawick Park to Cliff Ave and back. 

We encourage people to put together a team or register as an individual as we continue to step forward to prevent suicide and support those bereaved by loss. If you're not able to attend the event but wish to donate, that's great as well! Funds raised through the walk will benefit the Helpline Center's suicide awareness and prevention programs and services.

 For those interested in joining the planning committee, volunteering at the event, or asking general questions, please email [email protected] or call 605-274-1420.
