The NUHOPE Suicide Awareness Walk is a community event aimed at supporting individuals in Weber, Davis, and Morgan Counties who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and those who need mental health support. The walk serves as a platform to raise awareness about suicide prevention and to provide resources and support for survivors of suicide loss. It also emphasizes themes of hope, healing, and connection by bringing together community members to promote dialogue, understanding, solidarity in addressing mental health challenges and fostering resilience. Through advocacy and education, the NUHOPE Task Force contributes to creating a more compassionate and supportive environment for individuals and families affected by suicide.

This free community event is produced by Weber State University with Intermountain Health at McKay-Dee Hospital.
