Avicii Arena is one of Sweden’s largest meeting places where young people gather through music, sport and live experiences. This makes the arena a unique place to reach a wide audience and create relevance in an issue that affects many.
Through initiatives and activities in three areas, visibility, knowledge and participation, we want to make it easier to talk about mental health.
We raise the issue in the arena and in our channels to normalize the conversation around mental health issues.
We provide insights, language and understanding through targeted initiatives.
We create opportunities to be part of the initiative, in a simple and inclusive way.
Avicii Arena was launched in May 2021 after Tim Bergling’s tragic passing. Together with the Tim Bergling Foundation, the arena works to break the stigma around mental ill-health, prevent suicide and strengthen young people’s wellbeing and belief in the future.
Sometimes things we experience in life can seem impossible to handle. But with support from others, we can. A simple conversation is often an important first step.
Don’t be afraid to let your friends, family, teachers or someone else in your community know how you’re feeling.
