Create hope through action as we Light Up for Hope on World Suicide Prevention Day
Join us to create a display of lanterns - one for each person who died by suicide in West Yorkshire in 2024. Join us to show your support for suicide prevention, remember those we have lost, and stand in solidarity with survivors of suicide.
Our actions, no matter how big or small, may provide hope to those who are struggling.
This will be an informal event with opportunities to connect with others - however, there is no pressure to speak to others unless you want to. Members of the Healthy Minds team will be available if you need to chat.
Drop-in to help us create our lanterns any time from 5pm, but please make sure you arrive before 5.45 pm to allow for an interruption-free presentation, lighting ceremony and reflection time. We are also creating a Remembrance Video that will be shown at the event - if you'd like to recognise a loved one, please send your photos, videos and/or messages to Georgia (georgia@healthymindscalderdale.co.uk) by Tuesday Sept 9.
