This morning, in the early hours, I had the privilege of being part of the medical cover with Civil Defence for the Darkness Into Light walk.
Watching thousands of people come together before sunrise, all walking for the same reason, was genuinely powerful. Every step taken this morning was a reminder that nobody should have to face their struggles alone.
Suicide is a serious issue that affects far too many families, friends and communities. Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is simply talk, and sometimes the most important thing we can do is listen. A conversation, a check-in, or letting someone know they matter can make more difference than we realise.
To everyone who walked, volunteered, supported, or simply reached out to someone today — thank you.
Be kind to each other. Check in on your people. And never be afraid to talk. 💚 #darknessintolight2026 #civildefence
