THE FILM
LIV features sisters Tess and Liv, who from a young age are inseparable. Liv is a young girl, growing up with relentless pressures of social media, teen depression and, often, suicidal thoughts. LIV takes us into a rare and riveting journey of raw emotions and fears of a young life on the edge — and ultimately a big sister’s desperate struggle to save her. Through fearless storytelling, LIV reveals the realities of stigma, the struggles of mental health, and the aftermath for the survivors left behind in a suicide.

FEARLESS COMMUNICATION
A discussion guide.
Ask. Listen. Do.
Ask
- When you ask they feel seen.
- When you’re afraid to talk you’re saying it’s so scary you can’t event talk about it.
- If you sense something is wrong it probably is.
- Push past “I’m okay” and ask “what’s going on?”
- Ask have you thought about ending your life?
- Ask are you having thoughts of suicide?
- Be fearless to ask.
Listen
- When you listen they feel less alone.
- Listen without judgement.
- Don’t try to solve it just listen.
- Keep checking in.
- Let people talk.
- Be fearless to listen.
Do
- When you take action you show you care.
- Keep being there.
- Reassure they’re not a burden.
- You may not need to do anything but listen.
- You may need to call the suicide hotline to get help.
- You can be that person.
