Walk 9km anywhere, for the 9 Australians who tragically lose their lives to suicide each day. It’s time to come together, united in purpose, and honor those we’ve lost and take a stand against this heartbreaking crisis.
Every year, Lifeline marks World Suicide Prevention Day with a nationwide initiative that echoes in communities far and wide. It’s a day to reflect, mourn, and remember our loved ones who are no longer with us. By walking side by side, we symbolize our unwavering commitment to shine a light on the darkness of suicide and offer hope to those who may be struggling. No matter the hour, day or night, we stand by, ready to lend an understanding ear to anyone in Australia who is in crisis, feeling isolated, or simply in need of someone to talk to.
Together, let us embrace the power of connection. Reach out, share your story, and let us be the lifeline that supports you through your darkest moments.
