AFSP New Mexico
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 New Mexico Chapter
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) New Mexico Chapter is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.
Through suicide prevention education, advocacy, community outreach, and support for suicide loss survivors, our chapter works to raise awareness, connect people with resources, and strengthen communities across New Mexico.
Powered by dedicated volunteers, we are growing our reach and building partnerships to bring suicide prevention programs and resources to communities throughout the state.
