Take Part in National Suicide Prevention Week, September 4–10


More than 36,000 people died by suicide in 2009, making it the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. With the suicide rate in this country trending upward, there is a greater urgency to do more.

National Suicide Prevention Week starts on Sept. 4 and culminates with World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10. Here are five ways to get involved, raise awareness about this public health problem and help save lives:

  1. Take a moment to learn about suicide risk factors and warning signs. To further spread awareness, click the "share" icon on the top right of these pages to post to your social media accounts.
  2. Make a $10 donation to suicide prevention by texting “AFSP” to #85944.
  3. Join AFSP’s Field Advocate Program and work with the Foundation to make suicide prevention a national priority. Click here to sign up to be an advocate.
  4. If you have lost a loved one to suicide, please know you are not alone. For resources visit www.afsp.org/survivingsuicideloss. International Survivors of Suicide Day is Nov. 19. There will be nearly 300 healing conferences around the world. To find a conference site near you or the watch the program online, visit www.afsp.org/survivorday.
  5. Register for an Out of the Darkness Community Walk atOutOfTheDarkness.org. AFSP will be holding more than 250 community walks across the country to raise funds and awareness for suicide prevention.
