The Live4Life model, developed by Youth Live4Life, is a mental health promotion and suicide prevention program designed for adolescents in rural and regional Australian communities. The program combines delivery of Mental Health First Aid education with youth leadership, mental health advocacy, and community-tailored mentorship and implementation.

This paper presents baseline findings from the Live4Life co-evaluation, outlining cohort demographics and initial mental health indicators. These insights establish a foundation for future longitudinal analyses.
