Light Up for Hope on World Suicide Prevention Day

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

Come help us create 250 lanterns – one for each of the suicide deaths registered in West Yorkshire – 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, including Safespace, will also be available if you need a private 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.

This year, we are also creating a Remembrance Video – if you’d like to recognise a loved one, please send your photos, videos and/or messages to Amber (amber@healthymindscalderdale.co.uk) by Monday Sept 9.

Tickets:

Please note this is a completely FREE event, but donations are welcome on the evening. Your contributions help us continue to be there for those that need us most, and make a difference for mental health in Calderdale.

Getting There:
Please see the map below – we will be inside the main entrance, through Reception to Crossley Gallery. A member of staff will be available at the entrance to help direct you. Parking is free in the lot from 5 pm.

We will also hold a walking party from Healthy Minds office. We will set off at 4:30pm, so make sure you arrive before this if you’d like to join.
