"Walk into the Light" Walk: Reflecting on Suicide
On Tuesday, September 8, we’re organizing the “Walk into the Light” walk in collaboration with GGD Fryslân, KEaRN, and the Suicide Prevention Center Foundation. During this special morning, we’ll walk together toward the light of the rising sun. We’ll reflect on suicide and show that no one has to face it alone. By walking together and talking with one another, we’ll focus on what’s so important: seeing each other, looking out for one another, and having the courage to talk about dark thoughts.
Together, we walk toward the light
We’ll meet at 6:15 a.m. at the ice skating club building, Prins Bernhardstraat 1b, 9251 GJ Burgum. At 6:30 a.m., we’ll start with a brief opening ceremony. After that, we’ll set out on a walk of about three kilometers. The route is easy to navigate and wheelchair-accessible. After the walk, we’ll have breakfast together. There will be time to share experiences, reflect on suicide, and talk with one another. If you’d like to speak with someone one-on-one, aftercare professionals will be on hand.
Whether you’re coming to honor someone, show your support, or simply because you care about this issue, everyone is warmly welcome to join the walk.
