The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention would like to express our condolences on the passing of Barbara Stanley, one of the foremost experts in the field of suicide prevention research.

@afspnational Reach out to @afspnational and your local chapter Mine is @AFSPMA Which is yours? What else can you do today to help? @cmoutierMD "Develop a lens for suicide as a #health issue. Talk about it. Set aside time to listen to your loved ones and hear about their lives."

Save the date! 💙📅✨ National Suicide Prevention Week is from September 4th-10th. Mark your calendars to join AFSP for in-person Community Walks, virtual conversations, and more. Suicide prevention begins with all of us. Get involved: afsp.org/nspw

"Suicide prevention advocacy is a natural way for long-term survivors of suicide loss to be of service to others. 'We cannot save the loved ones we lost to suicide, but we can save other people’s lives,' one attendee said." afsp.org/story/living-o…

After passing with bipartisan support in 2020, the 988 Suicide & Lifeline crisis number is launching tomorrow. Starting July 16, you can call or text 988 to be connected with a trained crisis counselor who will listen, support you, and share resources. @988Lifeline @samhsagov
