Our latest initiative

All light on anxiety and depression

Tuesday, October 10th is World Mental Health Day, a day established by the World Federation for Mental Health to raise greater awareness of the issue. To commemorate this important day, we illuminate the Avicii Arena in green, a color that symbolizes life, healing, and hope. Within the Avicii Arena initiative, we work, in collaboration with the Tim Bergling Foundation and our Enabling Partners BAUHAUS and Trygg-Hansa, to contribute to long-term efforts to ensure the well-being of young people. You, as an important adult or friend, can also contribute by being extra attentive and aware of how those around you are feeling. Often, simply being there can make a difference, all in order to prevent and identify mental health issues early. It is vital.

Trygg-Hansa

With focus on school

Through the education “For all young people” aimed at high school students, Trygg-Hansa provides young people with knowledge and tools to feel as good as possible during their teenage years. Thousands of students around the country have taken part in the education and Trygg-Hansa continues the work to reach even more. The education is developed in a collaboration with young people, teachers, experts and researchers and is adapted to the school’s curriculum.

Trygg-Hansa works to make mental health a part of the education in school. As a part of this they’ve together with their partners gathered influental politicians and other influencers to a conversation and dialogue in the arena with the theme “Mental health on the education plan”. In connection with the anniversary on May 19th 2022 the goal for the discussion is to practically see how the education around mental health can be formed. You can find more information about the education for all young people here, free of charge.

For a better day

Tim Bergling Foundation

Experts believe that collective efforts are needed to improving young people’s mental health, but these efforts are currently lacking. Therefore, Tim Bergling Foundation strives to address this by fostering collaborative efforts among businesses, interest groups, politicians, the education sector, and the sports world. By giving the arena its name, Tim Bergling Foundation want to raise awareness about mental health, together with expert organizations.

Tim Bergling Foundation addresses suicide among young people as a global health issue and works to eradicate the stigma surrounding the topic. Through the initiative “For A Better Day,” we engage with young people to understand what they need today for improved well-being tomorrow. The responses collected are then presented to responsible politicians, and used to create activities within the Avicii Arena initiative.

Collaborating within Avicii Arena offers Tim Bergling Foundation a opportunity to connect with a broad spectrum of children and youth at different stages of their lives.

Live is Life

Stockholm Live

Stockholm Live is the initiator behind Avicii Arena. Avicii Arena serves as a gathering place, platform, and megaphone for one of our time’s most significant societal issues – mental health among youth. The aim is for the initiative’s partners – Tim Bergling Foundation, Trygg-Hansa, and Bauhaus – both collectively and individually to drive initiatives and activities that enhance the mental well-being and optimism of young people.

Stockholm Live provides the physical meeting place – Avicii Arena – which serves as the initiative’s anchor where meetings and events can take place to spotlight the mental health of young people. The arena is intended to be a space for discussions and activities that strengthen the mental health of youth.
