White House Issues Presidential Message in Support of
National Survivors of Suicide Day and Suicide Prevention Efforts Nationwide
The AFSP is deeply gratified to have received from the White House a special
message supporting National Survivors of Suicide Day, acknowledging the pain
and tragedy of suicide loss, and recognizing the efforts of those who are
working to prevent suicide throughout the nation.
Citing the critical importance of identifying and helping those at risk, the
President pledged his Administration’s support for mental health screening and
treatment for service members and veterans, and efforts to reach vulnerable
youth, including those who may have been the victims of bullying.
AFSP remains committed to making suicide prevention a national priority, and is
grateful to the Administration for its recognition of this important public
health issue.
