What is LivingWorks Start?
Start is an evidence-based, entry program into suicide alertness, so that everyone can play a role in preventing suicide.
In just 90 minutes online, LivingWorks Start trains participants to recognize when someone may be thinking about suicide and how to connect them to help and support. LivingWorks Start was developed with input from experts in suicide prevention, education, psychology, public health, social work, faith communities and the military.
