Out of the Shadows Walk
September 10 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Join us on World Suicide Prevention Day as we walk along the beach to remember the lives lost to suicide every year. 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 ill health. Through connection, compassion and hope, we will unite to raise awareness, overcome stigma and commit to preventing further deaths by suicide. Together, we will ensure that no one has to face their darkest moments alone.
The walk will start at Main Beach and end at Surfers Paradise. The walk will be followed by the lighting of the Q1 and as the sun sets, we will have a guest speaker and there will be time to connect with nibblies and refreshments. This event is being supported by Lifeline.
