American Foundation for Suicide Prevention

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a nonprofit organization focused on suicide prevention through research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide. Founded in 1987 and based in New York City, AFSP operates local chapters across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. The organization is committed to saving lives and providing hope, with over 81% of its finances allocated to program expenses. AFSP's core services include funding scientific research on suicide risk factors and prevention methods, offering public education programs like "Talk Saves Lives" and the Interactive Screening Program, and advocating for mental health policies. The organization also supports survivors of suicide loss through events such as International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day and provides resources for workplaces and communities. AFSP emphasizes diversity and inclusion, aiming to improve access to mental health care for marginalized communities.
