Lifeline Melbourne answers almost 35,000 calls each year, from people experiencing crisis. Many of them are thinking about taking their lives. We’re walking to remember those lost to suicide and help others in crisis Tragically, over 65,000 Australians attempt to take their own life and over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide every year. These people are our family, friends and loved ones.
On World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September), we will be walking to remember those we’ve lost to suicide, and raise funds for Lifeline Melbourne, to provide crisis support and suicide prevention services to save lives. You can walk to remember a loved one, as a personal tribute for a friend or family member, or to show your support for Australians experiencing emotional distress or mental illness. Please support our walk and make a donation to help those in crisis.
Together we can ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
JOIN OUR CENTRE WALK: It's OK to Talk About Suicide
DATE: Sunday 10 September
TIME: 9am-11am
LOCATION: Flagstaff Gardens (Lawn 7) 309-311 William St, West Melbourne
