Dear Valued American Association of Suicidology Member,
The American Association of Suicidology has been informed that overnight, the Federal government terminated all Zero Su***de, NSSP, and GLS su***de prevention grants.
As a membership of individuals dedicated to preventing su***de, we call upon you to call or send an email to your federal Congress Member and Senator immediately.
Reaching out to your Congress Member and Senator with a personal request to restore funding for critical federal su***de prevention grants is critical. This funding, which has saved thousands of lives, impacts the work of states and local communities. Sharing your professional and/or personal connection to su***de prevention is essential to illustrate the impact of these federal actions.
It is important that you share your specific reason why su***de prevention matters to you. A personal or professional story leaves an impression on the person who answers the call or reads your email. Some of the best internal advocacy comes from staff who hear the stories and read our emails.
Please take a few minutes and act today.
You can find contact information for the elected federal officials that represent you here: Find Your Members in the U.S. Congress | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
Every voice matters!
If you have questions or concerns, please contact the AAS Team at info@suicidology.org
