Upcoming Events


  • Scare Away the Stigma - Walk Suicide Out of Our County!

    October 31, 2026 @ 10:45 am - 12:45 pm
    237 W Monroe St, Franklin, IN 46131, USA

    RSVP for reminders & Order a shirt at: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/scare-away-stigma-2026-wso3

    We'll be doing a welcome and hello at 11:00 a.m. before encouraging individuals to do the self-paced mile walk around the DriveHubler.com Amphitheater and into the park in Franklin. This walk is a safe place for our community to come together and openly talk about suicide and ways we, as a community and individuals, can prevent it. Everyone is welcome!

    Why does this matter? As per the Indiana State Department of Health's 2024 annual report, Johnson County had a suicide rate of 14.07 per 100,000 population. 

    Free Resources Available
    Along the walk there will be educational points about how we can prevent suicide. At the start and finish line we will have booth with organizations in the county that will be providing free resources about suicide prevention. As this year's event is on Halloween, costumes are welcomed and encouraged!

    Registration is FREE and helps us plan and send reminders. We will be placing an order for a black long sleeved t-shirts for a fundraiser sale. To guarantee your size available, we recommend pre-ordering your shirt as you register (by October 16th). We will order extras and have them available for purchase, but cannot guarantee size availability!  

    Within this form, there is an option to make an additional donation to the Suicide Prevention Coalition. If you do decide to donate, please feel free to change the drop down "support the platform" option to $0 if you wish. Any amount in this box goes to the platform, not Upstream or the Coalition.
