Our hearts are with everyone affected by the recent tragic events in Minneapolis, Minnesota and those ongoing nationwide. Across the United States, many, especially within immigrant communities, may be struggling with fear and uncertainties. We know that moments of crisis like these can affect our mental health and well-being.

The American Foundation for Su***de Prevention (AFSP) wants you to know that if you are experiencing feelings of grief, anxiety, fear and more, you are not alone. In times of heightened feelings or triggering incidents, protecting your mental health is so important. If you or a loved one is struggling, please dial 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline or text TALK to 741741 for the Crisis Text Line. You are not alone.

- Set intentional time for media consumption and limit scrolling

Campus Walks are a time to come together with the people in your life and say, “I’m here for you.” 💙

When you walk for su***de prevention, you stand with loved ones and strangers across the country — spreading hope and advocating for a world without su***de.

Share this with someone you’d like to walk alongside at an Campus Walk this Spring. 🌱👟🫂

Big emotions can come up during uncertain or difficult moments — especially when we’re taking in a lot at once. Reaching out is a sign of strength, and you deserve care, understanding, and connection.

Everyone carries loss in some way. We are all grieving something. No matter how big or small, we can make space to acknowledge whatever we are grieving and the emotions that come with it.

We’re incredibly thankful for long-standing partners who continue to show up for our mission year after year.

Turner Construction recently presented a generous donation to AFSP Nebraska, continuing their ongoing support of su***de prevention efforts in our state. Pictured is Quinn Texmo, a second-year Chair for our Nebraska Construction Hike for Hope, an event that brings the construction community together to raise awareness and funds for mental health.

Partnerships like these remind us that su***de prevention is truly a community effort. Thank you, Turner Construction, for standing with us.

As we reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we are reminded of his profound words: “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and inhumane.” These words are as relevant today as they were when he spoke them, underscoring the critical need for equitable access to health care, mental health resources, and well-being for all.

At AFSP, we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for equitable mental health care, championing systemic change by addressing the root causes of inequities through research, advocacy, education, and building inclusive communities where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported in their mental health journey. 💙

This week, we want to take a moment to highlight some incredible local organizations that are helping advance our mission of saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by su***de.

A huge thank you to Papillion Orthodontics for their generous support of AFSP through their recent star fundraiser. Community partnerships like this play a powerful role in helping us continue our work across Nebraska.

We’d also like to take a moment to say welcome to our new Area Director, Ashley Howe! We’re grateful for her leadership and excited to continue this important work together across our communities. 💙

From sadness and anger to love and even laughter, grief can bring up a wide range of emotions. No matter what you’re feeling, remember, you’re allowed to feel it. It’s important to acknowledge those emotions as they come instead of holding them in.
