World Suicide Day is on Saturday, September 10.

The Compassionate Friends Victoria, in conjunction with Lifeline and Support After Suicide are hosting a walk along the Yarra River to commemorate World Suicide Day. Anyone touched by suicide is welcome to join.

There will be a gentle walk followed by some brief formalities and other activities which will give people the opportunity to remember their loved ones.

The theme for the walk is “It’s OK to talk about suicide” because we want to create awareness about the appropriate ways to talk about suicide and bereavement.

We want to end the secrecy and stigma that surrounds suicide.

RSVP:  Click on ‘Find a Walk’ and follow the links—you need to register for the walk by clicking on RSVP or call (03) 9666 1272.
