Walking Toward Hope: Elite Therapeutic Services Joins the Out of the Darkness Walk at Jones Beach

On October 26th, the team at Elite Therapeutic Services proudly participated in the Out of the Darkness Walk for Suicide Prevention at Jones Beach, New York—an inspiring community event organized by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

This annual event brings people together to raise awareness, honor those we’ve lost, and promote hope for those who may be struggling. It’s a powerful reminder that mental health matters, and that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone.

At Elite Therapeutic Services, our therapists, clients, and community members joined forces to raise over $1,000 in a short time frame, demonstrating the strength and compassion of our local community. On the day of the walk, our team—made up of therapists and staff—walked together in solidarity, reflecting on the importance of connection, empathy, and continued advocacy for mental health awareness.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who supported our team and contributed to this important cause. Every step we took at Jones Beach was a reminder that healing begins with hope—and that when we walk together, we move closer to a future without stigma, shame, or silence.

If you or someone you love is struggling, please know that help is available. At Elite Therapeutic Services, we provide compassionate, professional support through telehealth and in-person therapy across New York State. Together, we can make a difference.
