Together, We Can:

Established in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss, a nationwide community empowered by research, education, and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. AFSP has chapters in all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.  Learn more about AFSP in it’s latest annual report and get involved today at AFSP.ORG.

Inclusion & Efforts

We are dedicated to a process of change knowing that long-term, sustained efforts are needed to support communities of color and other minoritized groups who face disproportionate inequities in care, support, or mental health services in this country. We have much more work ahead of us and are committed to change in our culture and to reverse the impact of systemic racism, historical barriers, and inequities within the field of mental health. We at AFSP are committed to rectifying this by working with individuals, diverse communities, organizations, policy makers and thought leaders to ensure health resources that are culturally relevant are equitably available across the nation.

You're Not Alone

Many of our original founders were concerned about youth mental health and suicide risk among young people. You can play a role in supporting mental health in youth and young adults simply by becoming aware of the risk factors and warning signs that can lead to suicide, being available, and knowing how to practice having caring conversations about how they are feeling. If struggles do not improve in time, help is always available. You are not alone. To learn more, go to
