The Multicultural Communities Council Gold Coast (MCCGC) joined the Out of the Shadows Walk during Gold Coast Wellbeing, with participation from Board Director Leon Rebello and members of the MCCGC Run Club, alongside Cura Aged Care staff.
The team took part in a 5K walk around the Greenheart Robina Parklands to raise awareness about suicide and mental health. The event was hosted by the Suicide Prevention Collaborative Gold Coast and supported by Lifeline, Standby Support After Suicide, Gold Coast PHN, and the City of Gold Coast.
The walk provided an opportunity for participants to connect with the community, honour those affected by suicide, and promote open conversations about mental health. MCCGC emphasised that speaking up about mental health is not a weakness and that raising awareness can help save lives.
The event also encouraged participants to combine physical activity with community engagement, strengthening connections outside of work while supporting mental health initiatives.
