21.01.2022 Awareness, intervention and prevention is extremely important to us. Due to the virus introducing social distancing into our lives, we chose to limit marketing the event and significantly reduce the lead time of making people aware of the event to keep participants low but in away that still attracted media attention and created awareness of our message to Walk. Talk. Support. Reach out and get help if you need it and treat your mental health as you do physical health. Be kind to others and most of all be kind to yourself. For crisis support call Lifeline on 13 11 14
