Human connection is life-sustaining.

That belief shaped Connect – a digital platform designed to support Helpers before, during and after training.

As the foundation of our integrated training system, LivingWorks Connect brings together:
✅ Su***de prevention skills
✅ A community of trained Helpers
✅ Trusted tools and resources

Research continues to show that connection matters. LivingWorks Connect brings together digital innovation with human connection to help Helpers take action – anytime, anywhere.

Because when people are connected, su***de-safer communities are possible.

Independent survey results examining feedback from LivingWorks ASIST-trained Glasgow City services staff from January–December 2024 show just how powerful ASIST training can be:

- 56.5% of Helpers used their skills when someone needed support
- 98.8% would recommend this training to others

As part of Scotland’s National Su***de Prevention Strategy, LivingWorks ASIST - delivered through the Glasgow City Su***de Prevention Partnership Training Calendar - is creating meaningful and measurable change.

These results reinforce why evidence‑based training matters: it prepares real people to support others at critical moments.

Together, we’re building communities that are ***de.

We’re proud to highlight leaders at the forefront of the world’s two largest evidence-based community helper training organisations.

Mental Health First Aid International's CEO, Angus Clelland, visited headquarters last week – meeting with LivingWorks CEO, Lance Armstrong to explore how our work can continue to strengthen communities around the world.

***dePrevention skills training and literacy training reinforce each other. Together, they create a comprehensive, layered approach to prevention – where mental health literacy supports early recognition and help-seeking, and su***de prevention training equips people with the confidence and skills to reach in and help save a life.

When organisations with a shared purpose come together, the impact extends beyond our teams. Collaboration strengthens our collective ability to build safer, more compassionate communities where people are prepared to recognise and respond in moments when it matters most.

Big conversations are coming to Brisbane.

We are proud to share that Jørgen Gullestrup, CEO of MATES Australia, will be speaking at the Workplace Health and Safety Show on 25–26 March.

Jørgen has spent years challenging the way industry defines safety and making it clear that physical safety and mental health are not separate conversations. If we are serious about reducing harm on site, su***de prevention must sit alongside the provision of PPE.

You will hear:

• Why su***de prevention is a workplace safety issue
• How peer-to-peer programs are changing outcomes on worksites
• What leaders must do next

With more than 400,000 workers trained and over 30,000 volunteers across the industry, MATES has shown that cultural change happens when safety is owned by the workforce itself.

If you are attending the show in Brisbane, make sure you are in the room.

You might also see the new MATES branded hi-vis workwear on display; another practical way we are combining physical safety with visible mental health leadership on site, making trained volunteers easy to identify and approach.

See you in Brisbane.
