From the 9th to the 13th September, organisations, people and communities in mid and south Essex are lighting up buildings and landmarks green, as part of the ‘Creating hope through light’ event.
The joint initiative between Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System and Thurrock and Brentwood Mind, and is part of their #LetsTalkAboutSuicide campaign which aims to raise awareness of suicide prevention and reducing the stigma around talking about suicide and challenge residents to take the suicide prevention training available at www.letstalkaboutsuicide.co.uk.
You can find out which places are being lit up, as well as leave messages to express feeling of empathy, as well as provide a moment to reflect on what has been a very unsettling few years.
People can also take part by joining the social media campaign on #CreatingHopeThroughLightEssex, as well as upload personal messages and videos using the campaign resources available on https://letstalkaboutsuicide.co.uk/about-us/. You can also follow the campaigns on Instagram @talksuicideessex, Threads @talksuicidesx and Facebook @letstalkaboutsuicideessex.
