About this event

Create hope through action as we Light Up for Hope on World Mental Health Day

Come help us create a display of lanterns - one for each of the suicide deaths registered in West Yorkshire in 2024 - to show your support for suicide prevention, remember those 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.
