LifeAct's mission is to prevent suicide by teaching young people to recognize the warning signs of suicide in themselves and their peers, and to seek professional help. Our trained, credentialed instructors deliver LifeAct's in-school educational program, Recognizing Teen Depression and Preventing Suicide, to more than 30,000 Ohio youth every year.
LifeAct was founded in 1992 in Cleveland, Ohio by Lyman H. (Tim) Treadway who lost his son to suicide. For the first 12 years of its existence, it was a chapter of the research-focused American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).
In 2004, with input from a scientific advisory board comprised of experts from University Hospitals Case Medical Center, the organization separated from AFSP to become the Suicide Prevention Education Alliance (SPEA), an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
