AFSP is the global private leader in suicide research – with a total current investment of $20 million, with 100 ongoing studies.
Advocacy
We advocate for policies and legislation at the state and federal levels that help reduce suicide and improve mental health.
Loss & Healing
AFSP helps loss survivors heal after the death of a loved one through outreach and support programs. Each year we organize hundreds of healing events for International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day.
Prevention Education
We’re working to create a culture that’s smart about mental health by providing evidence-based programs to colleges, schools and within organizations.
Interactive Screening Program
AFSP’s ISP is an online tool for institutions of higher education, organizations and workplaces to identify individuals with significant barriers to help-seeking, and encourages them to utilize available mental health services before crises emerge.

AFSP has chapters in all 50 states raising awareness at events and annual walks. Chapters offer educational programs, advocate for public policy and provide support for those affected by suicide.
