Livin Foundation

The Livin Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit, with a mission of preventing suicide by creating quality connections through everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships. We want Livin to be a universally recognized movement that promotes a world that is just as comfortable talking about mental health, as is the weather. Throughout 2022, we held our annual camp Livin weekend retreat for families that have suffered a loss to suicide. We also held our annual Livin music festival, which creates quality engagement and outreach within the community, ultimately starting more conversations about mental illness with the goal of preventing suicide. In addition to these two annual events, the Livin Foundation awarded financial grants through our grant committee, to individuals and families in need within our community, specifically suffering from a mental health need. We also created and designed a proof- of-concept pitch for a proposed new mental health support platform with a human touch called livinconnected. We also conducted several educational (qpr) and speaking engagement sessions with corporations and schools within our community, talking about the importance of mental health. Through these programs, events, newsletter and social media platforms, we have been able to reach thousands of people throughout 2022.
