DISCLAIMERS
KYVO is not a replacement for traditional suicide prevention methods as they provide great supportive measures. We are offering additional tools from a different perspective to create spaces for the sharing of experiences and stories to empower individuals who control the act with the ability to stop it. We focus on preventing the thoughts of suicide instead of the act to make life the easier and better option. We are not providing any medical or other kind of advice. We are only providing information and suggestions. THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, BUT EVERYTHING IS NOT FOR ANYONE. Somethings will work for you as is, somethings will need to be tweaked to work, and somethings just won't work; all of which is OK. You get to discover what and how to use that which works BEST for YOU!!

TRADITIONAL vs KYVO
Traditional Approach
SUICIDE is a CAUSE of DEATH
- Preventions are aimed at those most deamed at risk.
- Is based in societal fears of death
- Misleading in the increase risk associated with depression while ignoring the real increase risk of those with OCD and ADHD
- Ignores the increase risk to those that value the quality of life over the quantity of life.
- Aims preventions at groups of people instead of customizing to the individual.
- Fails to empower the individual that controls the action with the ability to prevent themself
- Offers supportive measures to those that are suicidal and not preventive measures evident in the increase statics across the board of demographics
The KYVO Approach
SUICIDE is a RISK to LIFE
&
Recognizes that:
ALL of US are at RISK.
- Life and death are not opposites but share the same side of the coin. That every time we act to avoid dying we miss an opportunity to experience life.
- Each individual has their own threshold for Pain and Coping through the Storms of Life. When those storms overwhelm the ability and resources to Cope; the result is often suicide.
- The KYVO approach to suicide prevention empower individuals to prevent it for themselves as they recognize their own needs and limitations to create their own plan for prevention.
- Places the onus of responsibility for preventing suicide on those that control the act.
- Promotes the occurrence for difficult conversations to be had and provides tools to make them easier.
