Sunday 10 September marks World Suicide Prevention Day. This powerful day is recognised in over 60 countries, uniting us in our shared mission to reduce stigma, advocate for policy change, encourage help seeking, and honour the memories of those lost to suicide, those who have survived suicide attempts, and those who carry grief.
To coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day, Mornington Peninsula Shire is proud to partner with local suicide prevention network, Chasing Change, for its annual Walk for Suicide Prevention.
Now in its sixth year, we invite anyone who’s been affected by suicide to join us at this year’s event. The walk itself involves a gentle stroll around the perimeter of Mornington Park, where you’re invited to tie a colourful ribbon to the chain link fence as a symbol of hope.
