On November 2nd, the community will gather for the third Suicide Prevention Memorial Walk, organised by the Ararat Suicide Prevention Awareness Group, an event aimed at raising awareness about suicide and offering a space for reflection and remembrance.
With startling statistics, like the fact that 1 in 2 young people are impacted by suicide by the time they turn 25, and that 3,214 Australians died by suicide in 2023, events like this walk are vital in encouraging conversations about mental health and providing support to those affected.
The walk, beginning at 11 am, will start at the Alexandra gardens and include a reflective walk around the lake.
