LifeAct Commemorates 25 Years of Saving Lives

During our 25th year, we honored the founder of LifeAct, Lyman H. “Tim” Treadway for his vision and dedication to educate teens about depression awareness and suicide prevention after the loss of his beloved son John, 25 years ago.

SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Our school programs, Recognizing Teen Depression and Preventing Suicide for high school students, and U R O K ™ for middle school students, teach students to manage stress, recognize the signs of depression, and know how to access the tools to help themselves and others.  Our caring instructors facilitate learning and collaboration with the students by teaching this sensitive topic in a small group setting.

Resources

80% of people with depression respond favorably to treatment and almost all experience relief from symptoms.

LifeAct is a non-profit organization dedicated to saving young lives. By focusing on the act of reaching out, we are able to educate teens about depression and empower them to take the steps toward life. Our partners complete the circle of care. . . in real time.

A LifeAct instructor came to our classroom and taught us that depression is treatable and suicide is preventable. They make it easy to talk about sensitive topics like depression & suicide.”
