The Tim Bergling Foundation<\/a>, founded by Avicii’s<\/a> family in the wake of his tragic death by suicide in 2018, is calling on young people to share their stories for a new book. The initiative aims to collect over 1,000 messages from individuals under 25, which will be featured in the\u00a0second edition of the organization’s series, This Is What We Need \u2013 For A Better Day<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Avicii\u2019s track “<\/em>For A Better Day,” the project was developed to amplify youth voices in conversations around mental health, where adults have traditionally dominated the dialogue. The new book aims to provide a platform for young people to express their ideas, needs and hopes for a brighter future, with the foundation pledging to use these stories to spark meaningful change.<\/p>\n

“We listen, we act, and we make sure decision-makers do too,” the\u00a0Tim Bergling Foundation said.\u00a0Its previous collection of stories was presented directly to Sweden\u2019s Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, ensuring these voices are heard and advocated for at the highest levels.<\/p>\n

The Swedish organization has also built cuboid physical spaces\u00a0at Sickla K\u00f6pcentrum, Forum Uppsala and Mobilia Malm\u00f6 for people to record their stories. They will be open from March 10-23.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beyond the book, the Tim Bergling Foundation continues to support youth mental health through various initiatives. The nonprofit has built several music studios across Sweden, offering safe spaces where young people can explore creative outlets and make music, and also partners with \u00c5ngestpodden to help students start their own mental-health focused podcasts.<\/p>\n

The foundation has also hosted “Together For A Better Day” tribute concerts at the Avicii Arena, using music as a means to inspire others and break the stigma surrounding mental health struggles. You can watch the first-ever concert in-full here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
