Nonprofit Spotlight
Our September Spotlight is on the Michigan Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. 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
This month, AFSP Michigan will have their annual Washtenaw County Out of the Darkness Walk event on September 20th. For more information on supporting or attending the walk, or to learn about other walks in cities across Michigan, please continue reading below.
