ABOUT LIVINGWORKS
LivingWorks was founded in 1983 with a vision of building a suicide-safer world. We focus on the community at large in the belief that everyone—no matter their role—can be part of the solution. More than two million people worldwide have attended our programs, including LivingWorks Start, LivingWorks safeTALK, LivingWorks ASIST, and LivingWorks Faith.
From identifying when people have thoughts of suicide to carrying out an intervention and facilitating their recovery after the experience, our programs offer skills for everyone. People trained in different programs can seamlessly come together to create a network of safety for those in need.
LivingWorks training is used in schools, hospitals, businesses, military installations, government agencies, crisis centers, universities, neighborhoods, faith organizations, and many others. Supported by 16 peer-reviewed studies and government reports, our programs are evidence-based with more studies coming out each year.
