SAVE's mission is 100% supported by private donations.
We receive no government funds, so every dollar matters. | | Welcome to the team, Nancy | |
Meet Nancy Wurm, SAVE’s new Director of Donor Engagement and Community Outreach!
After losing her godfather to suicide, Nancy brings compassion, understanding, and a deep commitment to supporting others affected by loss.
As we thaw our way into events season here in Minnesota, Nancy looks forward to connecting with sponsors, event organizers, and attendees as we gather, honor those we've lost, and celebrate what each of us is capable of in the fight against suicide.
Contact Nancy today to help fuel our mission with a collaboration, sponsorship, or donation. With your help, SAVE continues advocating for suicide prevention policies, providing survivor support, and building stronger, more informed communities.
Join us in welcoming Nancy to the team!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴.
Our mission is suicide prevention. Unequivocally, and without exception.

Complete IBEAM suite launches in May!
The training aims to transform workplace cultures and decrease the construction industry's high rate of suicide.
WTW and SAVE are proud to launch IBEAM Supervisor and IBEAM Executive in May 2025, Mental Health Awareness Month, completing the program's suite of tiered construction industry-specific suicide prevention trainings available on save.org/ibeam.
IBEAM (Ideal Body, Environment, and Mind) is a trailblazing suicide prevention program comprising a video suite, interactive modules, and print materials in three tiers to engage all sectors of a construction company: C-Suite, supervisors, and the workforce. IBEAM equips all industry workers with the awareness and tools needed to support their colleagues' psychological safety and engage when they know a peer is struggling.
IBEAM aims to improve mental health outcomes among the construction workforce and decrease the field’s high rate of suicide. By engaging the entire industry with tailored education and skills training, IBEAM fosters kinder, better-connected workplaces.
IBEAM promotes transforming company policies to proactively support employees’ mental health and equipping coworkers at all levels to provide empathy, support, and resources when needed.
