WHAT IS LIVINGWORKS START?

In just 90 minutes online, LivingWorks Start teaches trainees to recognize when someone is thinking about suicide and connect them to help and support.

​

When you sign up for LivingWorks Start training, you'll learn a powerful four-step model to keep someone safe from suicide, and you'll have a chance to practice it with impactful simulations.

​

LivingWorks Start teaches valuable skills to everyone 13 and older and requires no formal training or prior experience in suicide prevention.

 

Safety resources and support are available throughout the program.

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. Nearly two million people worldwide have attended our programs, including Start, safeTALK, ASIST, and suicide to Hope.

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.
