Advocacy Action Days have officially begun!
Last week, thousands of people just like you rallied to protect suicide prevention and mental health grants at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This was a MAJOR victory for suicide prevention, and just one example of how anyone can join this grassroots movement that is making a difference. When you become an AFSP Volunteer Advocate, you send the message that your voice matters, and that suicide prevention is an essential part of state and federal policy.
This January through May is your opportunity to join thousands of Volunteer Advocates at state capitals across the country for Advocacy Action Days. At these special events, dedicated Advocates meet with state officials to raise awareness about key policies and legislation that can help prevent suicide. Equipped with training and their own powerful stories of loss survival and lived experience, these Advocates are at the forefront of AFSP’s mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. |
