Mission
Founded in 1987, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is the only national organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research and education, and to reaching out to people with mood disorders and those affected by suicide. AFSP supports research that is improving our understanding of suicide and its prevention. Since 2000, AFSP has invested $6.6 million in new studies, including research into treatments for people who are depressed and suicidal. AFSP provides education and information about depression and suicide to professionals, the media and the public. We also offer programs for survivors of suicide loss that can be of assistance and involving survivors in suicide prevention.
