AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide. 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 in our mission

AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC FOUNDATION

Advancing mental health, eliminating stigma. That’s quite a mission statement, yet each day staff at the American Psychiatric Association Foundation works tirelessly to achieve our dream of a mentally healthy nation—a world in which mental illness is understood as a medical issue that is real and can be effectively and readily treated.

To make this world a reality, our researchers and staff are informing health policy, fostering careers in psychiatric research, encouraging early recognition and treatment to families, schools, businesses and the judicial system, and providing resources and opportunities to medical students, residents, and early career psychiatrists

JASON FOUNDATION

The Jason Foundation, Inc. (JFI) is dedicated to the prevention of the “Silent Epidemic” of youth suicide through educational and awareness programs that equip young people, educators/youth workers and parents with the tools and resources to help identify and assist at-risk youth.

JFI believes that awareness and education are the first steps to prevention. We want to establish a Triangle of Prevention by providing students, parents and teachers the tools and resources to help identify and help at-risk youth. This is accomplished through a curriculum unit for students and informational seminars for teachers and parents. This instructional kit provides resources to accomplish this goal. The materials are easy to use and are intended to provide educational information. There is no intent to diagnose or treat suicidal ideation. JFI’s intention is to empower youth, educators and parents to help recognize when young people are in pain and know to get professional help involved as soon as possible.

We’re equipping teens and young adults with the skills and knowledge to help themselves and each other. We’re encouraging community awareness, understanding and action for young adult mental health.
