With more than 50+ peer-reviewed published articles and Government reports, our programs have proven effective in increasing skills and confidence in people to help someone with thoughts of suicide to keep safe, access help, and find hope. Our two-day LivingWorks ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshop is the gold standard suicide first aid training, developed over 40 years ago and continually improved through research. LivingWorks safeTALK is a half-day suicide alertness skills workshop. With over 120,000 people attending each year, it’s the world’s fastest-growing suicide prevention skills training course. We have also proudly been involved in a codesign process to create Indigenous enhancements of our programs: safeYARN and I-ASIST.

🌟 Suicide Prevention Month: How to Help When Someone is Struggling 🌟 Supporting someone going through a tough time can make all the difference. Here’s how you can be there for them: ✅ Check-In Regularly: A simple "How are you?" can open the door to important conversations. 👂 Listen Supportively: Sometimes, being there to listen is the greatest support you can offer. ❓ No Need for any Answers: You don’t have to solve anything—your presence alone is powerful. 📍 Know Local Resources: Be aware of available support systems and gently guide them if they need more help. 🤝 Assist, Don’t Take Over: Offer to help find information, but remember—they need to feel in control. Let’s work together to create a #SaferFromSuicide world! 🌍 #LivingWorks #SuicidePrevention #WSPD2024
