Suicide is a national health problem that takes an enormous toll on family, friends, co-workers, and the entire community. AFSP provides opportunities for survivors of suicide loss to get involved through a wide variety of educational, outreach, and awareness efforts. AFSP’s growing network of more than 50 local chapters nationwide join together those who have lost someone to suicide, individuals with mental disorders and their families, mental health professionals, community and business leaders, and others interested in preventing suicide. Our chapter volunteers deliver innovative prevention programs to schools and businesses, reach out to survivors of suicide loss, organize fundraising events, and act as a go-to resource for their entire community. They are at the forefront of increasing the public’s awareness of suicide as a public health issue that is preventable. Please join us today to help build a world without suicide.

When people come together, hope can win. 💙✨

AFSP was founded in 1987, when a group of families who’d lost loved ones to su***de banded together with a team of scientists seeking to learn more about how to prevent this leading cause of death.

Nearly 38 years later, community and connection remains at the forefront of our mission.

At AFSP, we're fostering a caring community of family, friends, neighbors, students and coworkers who’ve got each other’s backs, looking out for each other.

Today, the 988 LGBTQ+ support line was shut down — a devastating loss for LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. The general 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline remains open, but this dedicated, affirming support is gone.

💙 Thank you to the bipartisan Congressional leaders, including Rep. Mike Lawler, who spoke out at today’s press conference to save the LGBTQ+ su***de crisis line.
