AFSP Oregon

We work to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide throughout Oregon.

About the AFSP Oregon Chapter

The Oregon Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. We do this by delivering prevention programs, educating the public, raising funds for suicide research and programs, and reaching out to those who have lost someone to suicide. Whether you're honoring someone you've lost, supporting someone who struggles, or struggle yourself, there's a place for you in the AFSP Oregon Chapter. 

Request Resources

Do you or someone you know need resources? Let us know! We can mail you resources tailored to your needs. We can also send bulk resources to businesses, organizations, and schoools to distribute.
