15th Annual Circle of Support Walk: March 22, 2025
|
A big THANK YOU to everyone who supported the 2025 Circle of Support Walk.
Thanks to the Baton Rouge area community who came out and walked for awareness, those who donated money, food, door prizes.
We brought in over $16,000 (with more coming in every day) and, most importantly, we raised awareness
of the impact of suicide on our lives, individually and as a community.
If you have lost someone to suicide and would like to learn more about our services, please call us at 225-924-1431.
If we’re not here, leave a message and we’ll be back in touch with you as soon as we can.
The Circle of Support Walk is a community event sponsored by The Baton Rouge Crisis Intervention Center and the LSU School of Social Work Graduate Students.
The primary goal of the Walk is not only a fundraiser to help support our free, weekly, peer-facilitated
Survivor of Suicide Loss (SOS) support group; but also to educate and raise awareness of the aftermath suicide
causes in every community and for the individuals whose lives are impacted by suicide loss. The BRCIC has provided this ongoing SOS
support group to the Baton Rouge and surrounding area since 1981. If you are interested in knowing more about this group, contact us at
adminservices@brcic.org, or call 225-924-1431 to inquire.
In addition, the Circle of Support Walk supports funding for the BRCIC’s education and training opportunities to prepare individuals,
organizations, and the community to make a difference by learning more about suicide prevention and intervention. In recent years,
the BRCIC has created the National Suicidology Training Center (NSTC). The NSTC program also
provides training opportunities from other national programs to support the opportunity to partner in order to create and strengthen suicide-safer communities.
You can donate to the Walk at the event, or by donating online for a general donation or in honor of one of the individuals commemorated by a Walker.
