Lifeline Loddon Mallee is inviting the Mildura community to join them on Tuesday, 10th September at Garden of Hope, 158 Seventeenth Street to observe World Suicide Prevention Day 2024.
The event is a way of uniting the local community to honour and remember the lives lost to suicide, as a personal tribute for a friend or family member, or to show support for Australians experiencing emotional distress or mental illness.
Stephen Hegedus, Committee Chair said Lifeline’s Out of the Shadows walks aim to bring suicide out of the shadows, acknowledging those touched by suicide and highlighting the importance of human connection for people in their darkest hours.
“Tragically, over 3,000 Australians lose their lives to suicide every year. These people are our family, friends and loved ones. Join us to walk to remember those we’ve lost to suicide and raise funds to support our crisis support and suicide prevention services.”
You can phone Lifeline to speak to a Crisis Supporter on 13 11 14, text 0477 131 114, chat to Lifeline online or access the Support Toolkit to self-manage what you’re going through at www.lifeline.org.au (all services are available 24/7).
