***dePrevention

The Martin Gallier Project

🔗https://www.livingworks.net

Since launching in 2022, 988 has transformed access to support across the United States. More people are reaching out for help and more lives are being saved.

But a lifeline is only as strong as the conversations happening within it.

Research shows callers supported by ASIST-trained crisis counselors are more likely to experience reduced depression and reduced thoughts of su***de.

That’s because ***dePrevention isn’t just about answering the phone. It’s about knowing how to recognize su***de may be the reason for the call, listen with purpose, explore safety and connections to hope, and then, help someone find a path forward.

As #988 continues to grow, training remains a critical part of helping people stay safe when it matters most.

Su***de prevention training is only the beginning.

The real challenge is remembering what to do when someone needs support.

That’s why Connect was created.

Su***de prevention doesn't start and end with a training course.

Building su***de-safer communities requires people who know how to recognize the signs of su***de, start a conversation and connect someone to support when it matters most.

That's why provides more than training. We help organizations and communities build a through evidence-based learning, practical skills and ongoing support that help people turn skills into action.

✨ Evidence-based ***dePrevention and intervention training
✨ LivingWorks Connect, a mobile app for ongoing skill reinforcement and support

What does ***dePrevention look like inside a military organization?

A 2025 evaluation of the U.S. Coast Guard found that safeTALK helped strengthen su***de safety through peer-based training, cultural relevance and practical intervention skills.

39 USCG personnel became LivingWorks safeTALK Trainers – expanding su***de prevention capacity across teams and communities.

Participants reported greater confidence recognizing signs someone may be struggling with thoughts of su***de, starting conversations and responding in real-world moments where stigma can still impact help-seeking.

And the impact lasts. Learners reported that skills and intervention confidence were retained - helping create stronger, su***de-safer teams.

Su***de prevention is more than awareness.

It’s readiness. Culture. Connection.
