🎬 Turning Grief into Purpose: Joanie Fox’s Journey with ASIST

From Broadway stages to behind the camera, Joanie Fox’s creative path took a powerful turn after the loss of her friend Derek Rieth. That grief sparked Beatlore - a documentary honouring his life and confronting the silence around su***de.

To ensure the film was trauma-informed and supportive, Joanie turned to LivingWorks ASIST su***de intervention training. The skills she gained helped her navigate sensitive conversations and build a safe space for healing and storytelling.

“With LivingWorks ASIST, you get that practice and a chance to build confidence… I can do this, and I have resources and people I can reach out to.” - Joanie Fox

As Beatlore nears its 2026 release, Joanie continues to advocate for ***dePrevention and community education.
