Wesley LifeForce Memorial Day Newcastle
Wesley Mission LifeForce held a memorial service for people touched by the tragic circumstances of suicide in Newcastle on Thursday 15 October 2009.
LifeForce is a suicide prevention program dedicated to helping reduce the rate of suicide in Australia.
“The service was proved profoundly moving for people as they realise that they are not alone in their grief,” said Rev Keith Garner, Superintendent of Wesley Mission, Sydney.
“It’s vital to break the silence on suicide so that we don’t perpetuate the cycle of despair that began the tragedy. Suicide obeys no demographic profile – it just looks for troubled hearts.”
