Night of Connection, Healing and Hope ๐ฏ
Supporting healing for families, we were honoured to attend the Ngangki Wangkarta Candlelight Vigil for World Su***de Prevention Day.
It was a privilege to sit alongside community and share in a space of connection, remembrance, hope and love. We were also honoured to support this important event alongside the City of Port Adelaide Enfield, AFFSS and the Port Adelaide Su***de Prevention Network.
As the sun went down, candles were lit in memory of loved ones who have passed, while community members shared beautiful messages of love, remembrance and hope for those who may be struggling.
Our SHFF Coordinator, Cassie, also spoke about the work of SHFF and our commitment to supporting families and community through connection, understanding and culturally safe support.
There was something deeply moving about seeing people come together to remember, to listen, to honour, and to hold space for one another. The evening continued with community sharing a meal together, creating a sense of warmth, belonging and connection.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ngangki Wangkarta (Kaurna Women of the West) for hosting such an important and meaningful event, and to everyone who came together to make the evening what it was.
