Darkness Into Light Walk 2026

Students took part in the annual Darkness into Light walk in Phoenix Park this morning in support of mental health awareness and suicide prevention.

The early morning walk was a very meaningful experience for all involved, as students joined thousands of people across the country to show support and solidarity with those affected by suicide and self-harm. The atmosphere in Phoenix Park was both uplifting and reflective, with everyone proud to play their part in such an important event.

A special thank you to all students, staff and families who supported this year’s walk and helped raise awareness for the incredible work carried out by Pieta.
