We know LivingWorks today as a global leader in suicide intervention. Thousands of trainers in workplaces and communities around the world teaching gold class suicide first aid programs like the two day ASIST workshop, the half day SafeTALK suicide alert helper workshop and now the 90- minute online interactive introduction to suicide first aid, LivingWorks Start. Programs that have been endorsed in more than 50 peer reviewed journals around the world, that have informed international policy and are implemented everywhere from schools to military bases, hospitals to sports clubs and everything in between.
But do you know how it all started almost 40 years ago? In 1983 to be precise.
