IT was an emotional morning at Queen Mary Falls, Killarney, on Tuesday 27 June as more than 25 people took part in an RUOK morning.
The event was organised by the Southern Downs Suicide Prevention and Support Group – a group initiated by John and Ann Felton following the loss of their daughter.
The event provided the space to meet and greet and/or be in a safe and supportive environment, to connect, share, simply be, support or find support.
It began at The Falls Cafe, Queen Mary Falls, Killarney, and included key speakers and music, with morning tea provided by The Falls Cafe.
It began with a short walk in small groups to the observation platform over the falls with individuals and parties given the opportunity to go through a short guided process facilitated by representatives of Headspace.
There was music throughout the morning with a candle lighting ceremony in memory of loved ones.
