Awareness The more people know and understand about suicide prevention and mental health, the more they can do to help save lives. Together, we are raising awareness through our education programs and the efforts of our local chapters across the country.

Prevention Suicide can be prevented. By advocating for mental health and suicide prevention policies, our volunteers make an impact at the local, state and federal level, while our innovative research program helps reveal how we can save lives. We continue to make strides in our bold Project 2025 goal to reduce the annual suicide rate in the U.S. 20% by 2025.

Support No one affected by suicide – whether they have lost someone, support someone who is struggling, or struggle themselves – has to feel alone. We create a safety net of support through our programs, and through the individuals who make up our AFSP family in local areas across the country.

Community We are stronger together. Through our volunteers, and local chapters in communities across the country, we are united in the goal to spread hope and #StopSuicide.
