Each year, more than 3,000 individuals in Australia succumb to suicide. The effects extend widely and may impact our families, friends, and cherished ones.
As part of our Mental Health Well-being Program supported by the Victorian Government, we took part in Lifeline’s Out Of The Shadows Walk 2023 on World Suicide Prevention Day -Sunday 10 September.
9 members of the NORTH Link team came together to honour the memories of those lost to suicide and raised an incredible $5,642 to provide crisis support and suicide prevention services to save lives.
We commenced our 9km walk at 10am in Bundoora and walked along the beautiful Darebin Creek Trail, which took around 2 hours to complete, finishing at Alphington for a well-earned lunch!
A huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored our walk so far!
