MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS Funding Campaigns

We join efforts with hundreds of people statewide to raise money for vital research and education programs to prevent suicide and save lives.

FUNDING FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION Research Matters

According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, every year suicide claims more lives than war, murder, and natural disasters combined, yet suicide prevention doesn’t get anywhere near the amount of funding given to other leading causes of death’s research. Learn the latest published statistics on suicide from their National Suicide Facts and Figures Sheet.

In the last 10 years, the United States has invested federal funding into the research of leading causes of death like HIV/AIDS, heart disease, and prostate cancer. Major progress has led to decreased mortality rates. It’s time to do the same with suicide.

What have we learned from research?

  • Suicide is related to brain functions that affect decision-making and behavioral control, making it difficult for people to find positive solutions.
  • Limiting a person’s access to methods of killing themselves dramatically decreases suicide rates in communities.
  • See the complete list.
