Prevent suicide by creating quality connections through
everyday conversations about mental health, by way of programs and partnerships.
We can’t change the past, but together we can affect the future!
We want #LIVIN to be a universally recognized movement that promotes a world that is just as
comfortable talking about mental health as it is the weather.

Sean joins the Advisory Board of LIVIN with over 25 years of Operational experience, including 19 years as an entrepreneur running a midsized technology installation company before moving to Master Technology Group in Eden Prairie in 2017.
Sean and his wife Katie started Stomp Out Suicide (501c3) after losing their daughter in 2011. SOS focused on bringing families together through events, public speaking, and training/implementing Hazelton’s Lifelines program in 22 school districts across MN. In 2017, Sean and Katie made the decision to hand off SOS to Canvas Health who continues to grow and operate the summer event.
Sean’s other interests include being on the boat in the summer, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his son Jake and wife Katie.
Sean is excited to join the LIVIN family and hopes his passion for mental health and his professional experience will assist in continuing to grow the movement.

Our founder and executive director had the privilege of attending @2bcontinuedmn day of education. All speakers and content focused on mental health and suicide prevention. We’re so thankful for our partnership with 2B Continued. The common bond between all four of these individuals is that each of them lost a loved one to suicide and has decided to turn their own personal tragedy into driving passion to prevent suicide. #BetterTogether #WorkTogether #StartTheConversation #ListenWithIntent #GetBusyLIVIN #LIVIN
September is national suicide prevention month. What better way to promote mental health awareness and suicide prevention than educating ourselves on how we can help our friends and loved ones. It starts with all of US!

About this virtual/online event:
**This unique training experience includes an opportunity to hear how the LIVIN Foundation started in addition to a Q & A with our founder, "PT" - Paul Thomas.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR (Question Persuade Refer) learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade and refer someone to help. It is the most widely taught gatekeeper training in the United States that teaches best practices in suicide prevention.
