LivingWorks & Workplaces

Why LivingWorks Should be Training Your Workplace

Workplaces are ideal environments to support safety and well-being. Most people who die from suicide are working age (16 – 65),  and co-workers and managers may notice signs of suicide that others do not.

LivingWorks delivers suicide prevention skills training within small, medium, and large workplaces in all industry sectors, including construction, healthcare, technology, business, agriculture, hospitality, education, entertainment, and manufacturing.
