About the AFSP Georgia Chapter
The AFSP Georgia Chapter works every day to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. Through education, advocacy, research, community engagement, and support for those impacted by suicide loss, we are working to create a culture where mental health is prioritized and everyone knows they are not alone.
As part of AFSP’s nationwide network of chapters, we bring together people from across Georgia who share a commitment to suicide prevention. Our community includes individuals and families with lived experience, loss survivors, mental health professionals, educators, students, faith leaders, businesses, healthcare organizations, and community advocates.
The Georgia Chapter serves communities throughout the entire state. Our staff and dedicated volunteers provide suicide prevention education and programming to businesses, schools and universities, community organizations, healthcare professionals, faith communities, conferences, and other groups.
AFSP offers a variety of evidence-informed educational programs, including Talk Saves Lives, More Than Sad, It’s Real, L.E.T.S. Save Lives, and specialized suicide prevention programming for workplaces and other communities. Programs are offered throughout Georgia at no cost.
In addition to education, the Georgia Chapter hosts Out of the Darkness Walks and other community events, supports individuals and families affected by suicide loss, advocates for policies that strengthen mental health and suicide prevention, and raises critical funds to advance AFSP’s mission and support lifesaving research.
