A group of people holding LIVE signs

Created by West End Suicide Prevention, LIVE (rhymes with ‘give’) began as a positive mental health campaign in 2019 on the west end of Marquette County. LIVE promotes self-care and compassion in our communities by encouraging individuals to LOVE (yourself), INCLUDE (others), VALUE (life) and ENGAGE (community).

A letter L with love written on top of it.

LOVE (yourself)

To LOVE yourself means to accept who you are because there is only one you.  You have a unique set of abilities that only you possess.  To love yourself also means to take care of your physical, emotional and spiritual needs.  

A letter I with include written over it.

INCLUDE (others)

To INCLUDE others means to understand that we are all different and that is a good thing.  Everyone has their own individual talents and by working together we can make our communities a place everyone feels accepted.  

A V with value written over it.

VALUE (life)

To VALUE life means to believe you have a purpose that only you can fill.  Part of this purpose is to help both yourself and others.  To value life also means to help others find their significance.  

The letter E with engage written over it.

ENGAGE (community)

To engage the community means to come together to make a positive difference in the lives of others.  We make a difference by having open conversations to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health.  To engage also means to connect with others.
