Join us on World Suicide Prevention Day for a walk at sunrise to remember those lost to suicide, raise awareness and show your support for suicide prevention.

Enjoy a coffee and catch-up with friends in fresh air as we come together as a community and remember those we’ve lost.

Walking route
River Torrens, a loop around the river
The reasons for commemorating this day are beyond those that come obvious to us – that Sonder provides mental health and suicide prevention support to our community every day.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians between the ages of 15 and 44.
Beyond the tragic loss of the person, the impact of suicide deaths are felt by up to 135 people, including family members, work colleagues, friends, first responders at the time of death.
This year, we are participating in World Suicide Prevention Day to catch up and connect with each other.
We understand the importance of strengthening community, staying connected and showing each other that we are always here if in need of support.
Here’s what to expect
Watch the video above to find out more about how Sonder has commemorated World Suicide Prevention Day in the past.
This year we will be joined by more of the community as we have partnered with Walking SA and UniSA to extend the commemoration beyond Sonder staff.
The event will be opened by Professor Nicholas Procter, who will be sharing his research and recommendations on suicide prevention.
There will be a coffee van for your caffeine kick before, during or after the walk.
Walking SA will be hosting a stall at the starting point of the walk.
