About the event
AFSP is thrilled to participate in the 2026 Indy Juneteenth Parade!
This is an opportunity to celebrate freedom, resilience, and community while expanding awareness around mental health and suicide prevention in historically underserved communities. This event is about showing up with compassion, sharing resources, and fostering meaningful connections with attendees from diverse backgrounds.
Your role as a volunteer is incredibly important. By representing AFSP, engaging with parade attendees, and sharing life-saving education and support resources, you help break stigma surrounding mental health and create safer spaces for conversations about hope, healing, and prevention.
The impact of this event goes beyond the parade itself, it strengthens AFSP’s commitment to health equity, community outreach, and ensuring that suicide prevention resources are accessible to all. Together, we can honor the significance of Juneteenth while uplifting communities, promoting hope, and reminding every person that they are not alone.
