On 9 May, people in cities across the world will come together in the quiet hours before dawn for Darkness Into Light, a powerful sunrise walk that shines a light on mental health, suicide prevention, and hope.

In Belgium, Darkness Into Light has once again chosen the CHS Helpline as its partner. That means all the money raised by the walk goes towards keeping this vital service running around the clock every day of the year. The CHS Helpline is a critical support for so many in their darkest moments.

You can join CHS and its supporters on the Darkness into Light walk on 9 May in Parc du Cinquantenaire, Brussels starting at 5 am to share a walk of hope.

The walk begins in darkness and ends as the sun rises – a symbol of remembrance, solidarity, and hope for the future. The walk remembers those who have died by suicide, honours the loved ones they left behind, and most importantly, supports the prevention of suicide and the promotion of mental well-being.

For those outside Brussels, Darkness into Light walks will also take place on May 9 in Ghent, Leuven, Bruges, and Tervuren. Information about the starting points for those walks will be posted on the Darkness into Light page of the CHS website here.

See you there?
