ASFP is the American Foundation for suicide prevention. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.  AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:

• Funding scientific research

• Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention

• Advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention

• Supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide

​

We find that this is a very important cause with suicide being the 10th leading cause of death in the US.
