LivingWorks trainings are pragmatic, have been well received within the construction industry, and are used by the MATES program. LivingWorks trainings are thus recommended in the COMPASS framework.

If more appropriate for local needs, similar trainings found below may be substituted for safeTALK (Peer Connectors) and ASIST (Navigators).
