Description
End the stigma.  Join the conversation.  
The more the church can step up by being more public about the realities of mental illness and suicide, the more the church can help those who struggle and save those at risk.  
 
Learn about AFSP’s four core strategies for creating a culture that is smart about mental health: funding scientific research, educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention, advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention, and supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide.
 
Suicide rates are increasing with the trend going in the wrong direction for almost every demographic.  Being church means being part of a culture smart about mental health for all of God’s children.
