AFSP Michigan Chapter

As we honor Juneteenth, we not only reflect on a pivotal moment in American history, but also celebrate Black culture, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity and justice.

At AFSP, we recognize that mental health is deeply connected to the lived experiences of identity, community, and history. The legacy of systemic injustice continues to impact the mental health and well-being of Black communities today. It’s why our commitment to equity in mental health advocacy, resources, and care must be unwavering.

AFSP MI Chapter volunteers attended a 2-day LivingWorks Applied Su***de Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). Our next training is on July 22nd and 23rd at U of D Mercy. It’s not too late to register for this free life saving workshop (must attend both days) … Sign up now! 👇

In 2024, su***de-related deaths were four times higher among males than females.

This let’s remember that seeking help is a sign of STRENGTH. By supporting one another, fighting su***de, and challenging stigma, we can build a future where no one suffers alone.

Check in on the men in your life and remind them that they are not alone. 💙
