Breakdown & Comparison
Thrive Education is a comprehensive six-pillar approach to understanding the suicidal to thriving spectrum. The focus, as it always should have been, is discovering what it means to thrive with an awareness of what it means to be suicidal, and how to safely and effectively navigate each.
Thrive Education has rewritten the suicide prevention handbook, and the differences compared to current solutions are drastically clear:

It isn’t enough to simply save a life if there is no reason to live. By moving past the focus of preventing suicide in the moment of crisis and instead empowering people with key tools and resources, they can navigate challenges and remain focused on living a life they love.
That's how Thrive Education helps people grow from helpless and scared to empowered and prepared. It provides a clear understanding of what causes suicide, how to talk about it, how to navigate it, and much more.
Additionally, removing the fear and uncertainty improves their ability to make conscious and informed decisions while recognizing that the risk of suicide, just like any other health condition, can be managed, reduced and potentially eliminated with the proper support for their physical, mental and emotional health.
These are the missing tools and resources needed to go beyond simply surviving to thriving.
This is Thrive Education.
