This September, we’re spreading the message that Together, We Can Help #StopSuicide.
On September 10, to mark the occasion of World Suicide Prevention Awareness Day, AFSP is hosting a first-of-its-kind, all-day Facebook Live event! This special, action packed day will be filled with inspiring conversation about mental health and suicide prevention, and feature guests and partners across research, entertainment, advocacy and more. Starting at 12pm ET, the lineup will include:
- Opening remarks and mental health tips from comedian Gary Gulman, whose HBO special The Great Depresh melded standup with a documentary-style look at his lived experience and hospitalization

- A special episode of “Ask Dr. Jill” with AFSP’s Vice President of Research Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman and guest psychologist and researcher Dr. Lisa Horowitz, answering the question: “How to ask someone if you think they’re thinking about suicide – and how to respond if they say, ‘Yes.’”
- A policy-focused panel discussion highlighting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's transition to 988 and the future of crisis care. Moderated by AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia, featuring US Congressman Chris Stewart (R-UT-02), State Rep. Tina Orwall (D-WA-22), and Tori Yeates, AFSP Utah Chapter President and
