Have Questions for Us?

Our team can work with you to help you find the best training solution. If you still have questions after reading the information on this page and frequently asked questions below, please contact us and one of our team will be in touch.

LivingWorks Start teaches valuable skills to anyone 13 years and over, and requires no formal training or prior experience in suicide prevention. The evidence is clear; the earlier we ask someone – in your family, a friend, a partner or colleague – if they are thinking about suicide, the earlier we can get them to the right level of support and recovery. We believe that by teaching these skills to as many people as possible, we can help the world become safer from suicide.

LivingWorks Start is $39.95 per enrollment. If you’d like to discuss multiple enrollments as part of your organization or group, please get in touch via our contact form.
