About LIVIN
This community initiative is undertaken by the Gold Industry Group (GIG) in partnership with LIVIN with the aim to connect, support and inspire others to speak up and seek help. The Gold Industry Group is working with its members and LIVIN to raise awareness of mental health and engage workers and the community.
LIVIN was co-founded by Sam Webb and Casey Lyons in September 2013, in honour of close friend Dwayne Lally and other close friends and family who took their own lives after suffering from a mental illness.
LIVIN is all about LIVIN your life at the top and destroying the stigma attached to mental illness. The core of LIVIN’s mission is the mantra “It Ain’t Weak to Speak,” to encourage and inspire people to speak up and seek help.
Join us to inspire others to talk about their feelings, follow LIVIN and GIG and tag #itaintweaktospeak
