Everything we do at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is supported by scientific research: from our education and loss support programs, to our advocacy efforts, partnerships, and national public campaigns that raise our culture’s understanding of how we can all make a difference. Through our local chapters across the country and events like the Out of the Darkness Walks, we forge bonds between individuals who have a personal connection to suicide, and who share their experiences with each other, pointing a path forward toward hope.

That’s why the theme for AFSP’s 2024 Annual Report, “What We’ve Learned,” is so fundamental to who we are, as an organization and as individuals. Inside this year’s Annual Report, you will find an in-depth overview of how our staff, volunteers and partners continued making a bold impact at a national level, as well as in communities everywhere, over the past fiscal year.

In addition to this past year’s efforts, all of which are informed by what we’ve learned, the Annual Report also contains inspiring Volunteer Spotlight Stories that reveal what some of our dedicated volunteers have learned through their own experiences, including: 

- How a Chinese American daughter of immigrant parents felt her identity had shattered upon losing her sister, and learned to talk openly about her experience with other survivors of loss
- How a mom shows up for her daughter with lived experience, through Community Walks and other chapter events
- How one volunteer got students involved in a Campus Walk by having them paint graffiti of HOPE
- How a man who survived a suicide attempt is striving to create a world in which people, especially those of color, can openly have conversations about mental health and suicide prevention
- How a L.E.T.S. Save Lives presenter discovered that when people are exposed to educational moments that feel like conversations, they are more likely to absorb information and engage

By reading this year’s Annual Report, we hope that you will learn how we are making an impact together, and feel inspired to join us. We encourage you to share the Annual Report with others, and raise greater awareness of how we can all play a role in this vital cause.
