Advocacy
Suicide is everyone’s business, and effective suicide prevention requires action at every level—from individuals and communities to healthcare systems and policymakers. The American Association of Suicidology (AAS) advocates for evidence-informed policies, programs, and investments that reduce suicide risk, support those impacted by suicide, and advance the field of suicidology.
