As we reach the end of the year, we are reflecting on the theme that has driven so much of our work in 2025: Looking Out for Each Other. It’s a powerful reminder that meaningful change can happen and hope can grow when we show up for each other: in times of struggle, in times of healing, and in the moments in between.
Today, we’re grateful to share the story of someone who has felt the impact of that outreach firsthand. Here are the words of Mary Kerby, a mother who found hope, healing, and connection through AFSP:
“We lost our son Adam to suicide in 2021 at age 31. He was handsome, brilliant, funny, and challenging. He also struggled with anxiety and depression for more than 10 years. I am a primary care nurse practitioner and realize that suicide is just as much a matter of health as any physical health situation.
Through AFSP, our family has found community, hope, and a chance to focus our efforts for suicide prevention. Our loss remains incomprehensible, but we are now focused on remembering Adam by helping others through AFSP.”
