We are Proud to Lead the Fight Against Suicide

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention was built on a sense of community. By bringing people together, we can create communities who look out for each other, cheer each other on, notice when someone needs help, and take action.

We are proud to lead the fight against suicide, and share what we have learned — as individuals and as a movement — as we continue to learn, and take action to make a difference.
