Every 40 seconds, someone in the world dies by suicide. Every 41 seconds, someone is left to make sense of it.
My mom died by suicide when I was just 20 years old. If you or someone you know is a survivor of suicide, like me, please join the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention today on its 15th annual International Survivors of Suicide Day with more than 300 events in over 15 countries. You can find a location near you, or watch the program online. Each location welcomes survivors of suicide loss, providing a safe and healing space where everyone can comfortably participate in a way that is meaningful to them. Join with others to listen to a diverse group of survivors discuss their losses, how they coped, and much more.
