Community matters
Every time we gather, we’re showing the world how many people are committed to saving lives from suicide, and our belief in resilience. We know that everyone faces challenges, and although people may appear composed, many are dealing with hidden struggles. And most importantly, we’re signalling to someone doing it tough that there's a community aware of their pain and hasn’t lost faith in their ability to recover.
Suggested Routes
Whether you walk or run, we aim for 20 - 30 minutes of exercise. Then we’ll meet back at the starting point for a drink and chat.
Our story
Disclaimer
Running for Resilience is an unstructured concept that has been embraced by the Canberra and Mental Health communities. If you choose to take part in the weekly runs, you do so at your own risk. Running is a physically active sport and you should always seek advice from your doctor beforehand as to any pre-existing injury. Children under the age of 12 are the responsibility of their parents or guardians and must be accompanied by them at all times. Running for Resilience webpage and social media owners and operators or those organising the weekly runs are not always present at the weekly runs. They do not accept responsibility for any injury, loss or damage sustained by any participant.
