Book the lecture Always Open with HG Rådström—basketball professional, King of the Year 2023 in Sundsvall and a Föreläsare who dares to address the difficult yet life-critical issues. Every year, nearly 1,500 people take their lives in Sweden, and at least 15,000 additional people attempt to end their lives. The statistics are staggering and difficult to grasp. Mental health is a matter close to all our hearts.

In Always Open, HG shares his gripping and personal story about growing up in a culture of silence surrounding his father's alcoholism, suicide attempts, and suicide. He speaks openly about his own feelings and his own suicide attempt—and how he survived when the rope broke. Over 50 intense minutes, you will learn about his journey through trauma and the importance of daring to see and talk to each other about suicide. You will leave with simple tools for being there for each other during mental illness. The lecture touches deeply and inspires change. This has to stop now. We must get better at being there for each other during mental illness.

Several organizations such as Bolagsverket, Sundsvalls kommun, and Peab have already experienced the lecture, and references are available.

It's time to take action. Book a lecture that not only touches but also encourages action. 1,569 people took their lives last year in Sweden, and now we must together bring that number down.
