AFSP-Metro Atlanta

Welcome

The AFSP-Metro Atlanta chapter was chartered in September, 2006. We share the mission of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and are dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research and education, and to reaching out to people with mood disorders and those affected by suicide.

We serve Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas by bringing suicide prevention programs to our area.

Our chapter is self-supporting. If you would like to make a donation or sponsor an event and ensure that proceeds come back to Atlanta, please call or email Area Director, Chris Owens, for details (see ''Contact Us'' page).
