World Suicide Prevention Day: Remembrance walk and vigil - Has Ended

This World Suicide Prevention Day, we welcome you to participate in LifeConnect's Remembrance Walk and Vigil as we raise awareness, remember those lost to suicide and unite in a commitment to prevent further deaths by suicide.

We will meet at Ringwood Lake Park by the soundshell between 10:30am and 10:45am - look for the LifeConnect banner! We will also have a BBQ going for those who would like to stay and connect afterwards.

*There will be gluten free and vegetarian options at the BBQ.

This event will be presented by Neami National's LifeConnect suicide prevention program in partnership with Maroondah City Council.

The LifeConnect team would love to hear your reflections to the question:

"What would you like people to understand about suicide?"

There will also be an opportunity to be filmed for our online content. This is optional.

All human and canine family and friends are welcome - please make sure dogs are on leads :)
