Following the tragic loss of 19-year-old Liv to suicide, her mom Honey and sister Tess decided to start a non-profit organization to tackle the current youth mental health crisis by encouraging open conversations about mental health. We are a group of artists, filmmakers, and creative humans from around the world, whose lives have been touched by youth suicide. We are collaborating with youth and mental health professionals to create thoughtful experiences and tools aimed at sparking the kind of fearless communication that can save lives. The Liv Project provides tools and resources designed to eliminate the stigma of mental health issues and reverse the soaring rate of youth suicide. We envision a global shift where fear of judgement does not hold anyone back from speaking openly about their mental health. A world where we all have the skills to compassionately listen, support, and safely guide those in crisis, so that youth suicide is no longer an option. Our programs and tools include: • Award-winning documentary film MY SISTER LIV • The Game That Goes There®, a fun conversation starting game that organically generates open conversations about mental health • Free easy to use, printable conversation guides for those who are worried about themselves or others and a wealth of resources, videos, and articles. Reach out to us to learn how you can bring our programming to your school, community, or organization.

As Suicide Prevention Month draws to a close, I reflect on the many events I had the humble honor to participate in to spread awareness. Thank you to Mental Health America Lancaster Chapter and Coalition for selecting me to share my lived experience story and participate on your pane. I have presented Talk Saves Lives an Introduction to Suicide Prevention created by American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at least 10 times this month to a variety of organizations seeking to increase awareness and shift the culture around suicide prevention, including The Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. Thank you to Honey Beuf and Amanda Soler with the Liv Project for bringing their documentary My Sister Liv to CVS Health to open conversations about youth suicide. There is so much good work happening. We must continue to have these important conversations. Please continue to check in on those you care about. Together we can save lives. To my fellow American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (Philadelphia) board members keep up the great work. Darcy Lindy Patrick Kessel Sonya Bohmann Ashley S.
