The suicide of my daughter, Sabrina, shattered me. Through AFSP, I’ve found a support group, established a memorial fund in my daughter’s name, and received helpful information about loss after a suicide. Most importantly, I am part of a community that is addressing suicide prevention in a meaningful way. I will forever be grateful to AFSP.
– Barry Ross, AFSP Supporter

Whether it is supporting those who have lost a loved one to suicide or those who struggle, creating a comforting space for people like Barry to make a difference in their own lives and in their communities, has always been a priority for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

As the nation’s leading volunteer-led organization dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide, AFSP has led the way in generating significant advancements in the fight against the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.

Our more than 20,000 volunteer Field Advocates ([link removed]) have visited legislative leaders to champion the passage of mental health legislation. Staff and volunteers from AFSP’s 75 chapters ([link removed]) delivered more than 2,000 education ([link removed]) and support ([link removed]) programs. Our Interactive Screening Program ([link removed]) has connected more than 140,000 people to help. AFSP’s research ([link removed]) efforts contributed more than $21 million in grants over the past five years, making us the largest private funder of suicide prevention research. Thousands of individuals across the country are supported by AFSP because we are supported by donors like you. But there is still more work to be done.

Help us continue our mission of saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, by making a gift today to AFSP.
