About The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention 

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. The Arkansas Chapter of AFSP was formed in 2009 by a group of individuals who had lost someone to suicide or had their own personal struggles. Today, our chapter helps to create communities all over our state who are smart about mental health by: 

- Providing prevention education in schools (K-12), colleges/universities, churches, community groups, etc. 

- Advocating for suicide prevention legislation 

- Providing support for loss survivors 

- Collaborating with organizations throughout the state

- Helping to fund suicide prevention research globally
