Our Message

Walk with Lifeline Queensland this World Suicide Prevention Day

We’re hosting a range of walks across Queensland on and around World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September), as part of our Out of the Shadows events.

Together, we’ll bring compassion to those impacted by suicide and show strength in breaking the stigma of talking about it.

Join us to honour those we’ve lost, to walk in memory of a loved one, or as a heartfelt tribute to a friend or family member. Or simply come to stand in support of Australians experiencing emotional distress or mental health challenges.

However you take part, your presence shines a light in the darkness, offering hope, understanding, and a reminder that none of us walk alone.
