AFSP Southeast Florida

The work we do focuses on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by: delivering innovative prevention programs, educating the public, raising funds for suicide research and programs, and reaching out to those who have lost someone to suicide.

About the AFSP Southeast Florida Chapter

The grassroots work we do focuses on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by: delivering innovative prevention programs, educating the public about risk factors and warning signs, raising funds for suicide research and programs, and reaching out to those individuals who have lost someone to suicide.

As a part of AFSP’s growing nationwide network of chapters, we bring together people from all backgrounds who want to prevent suicide in our communities. Families and friends who have lost someone to suicide, vulnerable individuals, mental health professionals, clergy, educators, students, community/business leaders, and many others energize our chapter.

Volunteering with the Southeast Florida Chapter

We are always looking for people who are passionate about suicide prevention to join our wonderful team of volunteers. We are flexible with the roles and the time you can give to the cause. Our volunteers are the heart of the organization, and make all that we do possible. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please complete our Volunteer Application.
