Connecting people affected by suicide
A community-led movement for suicide awareness and prevention
A voice for the voiceless
HopeWalk is a suicide awareness and prevention movement. We are a community-led movement which gives individuals, families and communities who have been effected by suicide a place to connect with others who have also lost love ones to suicide.
โ
HopeWalk was also birthed to highlight and network with existing organisations, community groups and agencies that provide suicide prevention, intervention and postvention support.
Stories of hope
