OUR STORY

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. 
​
HOPEWALK was also birthed to highlight and network with existing organisations, community groups and agencies that provide suicide prevention, intervention and post-vention support. 

HopeWalk founder Joseph says
​"This movement is about giving people a voice which they are told  by society they can't have because its taboo, an unspoken topic and so on. We need to break the shame, stigma and silence around suicide - it starts and ends with us. We need to remember that we are talking about people, not numbers on a piece of paper" 

"We are a voice for the voiceless"
