With your support, we will continue to meet the needs of the community and ensure our programs remain available to those we serve. Here are just a few recent examples:

  • Through our chapters across the country, AFSP has delivered more than 500 suicide prevention education and loss and healing programs, including Talk Saves Lives.  
  • Advocated for the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, which named 9-8-8 the three-digit, easy-to-remember suicide hotline number.  
  • Funded 38 new suicide prevention research studies since the pandemic, bringing our total current investment to $20 million, with 100 ongoing studies.
