November 21 is Survivors of Suicide Loss Day, an international day dedicated to those who have lost someone to suicide. On this day, we come together to light up the darkness during Allt ljus på Uppsala.

It takes courage to talk about what hurts the most. Courage to remember those we have lost. Courage to reach out. By gathering in the light, we hope to break the silence surrounding suicide and mental health challenges and reduce the stigma. We want to show that there is hope and that no one has to face difficult times alone.

Throughout the evening, there will be opportunities to come together, find support and have conversations that can make a life-changing difference. Representatives from the following organisations will be there:

• Suicide Zero

• Hjärnkoll

• SPES – The Swedish National Association for Suicide Prevention and Support for the Bereaved

• Uppsala Municipality’s Ombudsman for Older People

You are warmly invited to join us, share a moment of togetherness and light a candle.

When: Saturday, November 21, 2026, 4:00–8:00 PM
Where: Rosénparken, near S:t Eriks torg
Organisers: Hjärnkoll, SPES, Suicide Zero and Uppsala Municipality’s Ombudsman for Older People
