AFSP Ohio
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 Ohio Chapter
As a part of AFSP’s growing nationwide network of chapters, the Ohio Chapter brings 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.
Our Board of Directors, led by Chair Carol Griesdorn, and our passionate volunteers are active in our communities bringing both education and awareness programs to schools and organizations, in addition to supporting those touched by suicide.
The grassroots work we do focuses on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by:
- Delivering innovative prevention education programs – Program Calendar
- Advocating for public policies that are smart about mental health – Become an Advocate
- Raising funds for suicide research and programs – Research Connection
- Reaching out to those individuals who have lost someone to suicide – Loss and Healing
