Happy National Coming Out Day! 🏳️‍🌈✨
We had an incredible time connecting with everyone at the Out & Proud event on Friday.
Coming out is a journey of courage, but it can also bring unique challenges. At AFSP, we know that love, acceptance, and visible support save lives. We table at events like this to break the stigma, share resources, and remind our LGBTQ+ community that you are never alone.
Whether you are out, preparing to come out, or keeping your journey private: you are valid, loved, and supported. 💙

This month marks ROCtober - Research October! It’s a time where we boost community knowledge and understanding about su***de by building conversations informed by AFSP-funded su***de prevention research.

We all work to create communities where people understand the problem and complexity of su***de as a health issue. Once people understand more, they will likely change how they take care of themselves and support people around them, especially those affected by su***de. Whether it is learning that it’s important to ask about su***de, how the brain changes thinking during a crisis, or how to support someone after a loss, knowledge is power.
