AFSP - Spokane Chapter

It is normal to experience grief after loss. If you are affected by the wildfires in Spokane and our surrounding areas, and having difficulty managing your emotions, 988 can help. You are not alone.

Your feelings are valid. 💜 Whatever you're carrying today, it's okay to feel it - and you don't have to carry it alone. 988 is here for you 24/7.

Together, we must encourage conversations in Black communities around mental health and help-seeking to prevent su***de and su***de attempts. 💙💬

L.E.T.S. Save Lives: An Introduction to Su***de Prevention for Black and African American Communities is making that happen, but there is more work to be done.

Join us for this presentation designed to reduce cultural stigma around su***de, foster conversations about mental health, and more. Find an event at afsp.org/letssavelives 🔗

Last weekend, long-term survivors of su***de loss from across the country came together in Baltimore, MD, for a Summit centered around connection, hope, and remembering those we have lost. 💙

Creating spaces where loss survivors can come together, share experiences, and find support is a critical part of the healing journey.
