Our Tools and Programs
The time to start talking about mental health is NOW.
According to the CDC, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34.
Each of our programs and creative tools encourage fearless conversations in our effort to turn the tide of youth suicide.
The Game That Goes There®, is a fun conversation game for youth ages 13+. The mechanics of the game allow players to openly share their feelings and develop connection and empathy eliminating the stigma and shame associated with mental health. Learn more and grab your copy here!

support those who are struggling.
Our Mission
The Liv Project is a non-profit organization that develops creative tools that encourage fearless conversations to turn the tide of youth suicide.
Our Vision
We envision a global shift where fear of judgement does not hold anyone back from speaking openly about their mental health. A world where we all have the skills to compassionately listen, support and safely guide those in crisis, so that youth suicide is no longer an option.
