The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is a very well established organization which has been doing research in the area of suicide prevention for decades. If you go to their site, click on Who We Are, then at the bottom of the text click on Leadership, you'll see a list of names that will make your jaw drop. Some familiar names are Sen. Harry Reid, Kay Redfield Jamison, Ph.D., William Styron, Aaron T. Beck, M.D., Jan Fawcett, M.D, and more.

They have worked with the National Institutes of Mental Health, the Centers for Disease Contral and the Office of the Surgeon General to develop a national suicide prevention plan.

There is no group in the country which is more politically involved, more scientifically backed, or more respected for their work in the area of suicide prevention.

Can you tell I like them? :-)
