Darkness into Light - Walk for Suicide Awareness

Mental Health

This 11th May, hundreds of thousands of people around the world will get together to walk from the darkness of night into the light of morning to help in the global fight against suicide and self-harm.   

Symbolically the walk represents the therapeutic counselling journey.  It sparks conversation about the importance of mental health and wellbeing in all our lives. The entry fees raised around the world allow Pieta House and their international charity partners to continue to deliver vital services. 

Join in on May 11. 'Let’s walk together for a brighter future'.
