We have an amazing team of passionate instructors—and they represent a wide variety of professional backgrounds and life experiences.
When choosing our instructors, what we look for most is a passion for suicide prevention and mental wellness and the ability to connect with kids in the classroom and confidently convey this critical information to them.
All of our new instructors undergo program-specific training and shadow seasoned instructors before teaching the program on their own—in addition to the continuous professional development that our whole team participates in. LifeAct's instructors are all licensed Registered Applicants and have two years to get their OCPSA (Ohio Certified Prevention Specialist Assistant) certification.
