AFSP Illinois

Every day as a suicide loss survivor can look and feel different. Remember, grief is love finding a new way to live. You're invited to join AFSP Illinois for a Survivor Day event in your area during the weekend of November 21. Learn more at afsp.org/survivorday. 🫶

On #NationalStressAwarenessDay, remember that feeling stressed doesn't diminish your strength, hope, or joy. Take a deep breath and treat yourself with kindness today. 🌿💙✨

Your vote has the power to save lives! 💙 This #ElectionDay, we want to remind you that your vote matters and can get us closer to passing lifesaving suicide prevention policies. In addition to voting, become an AFSP Volunteer Advocate at afsp.org/advocate.

There may be many scary things this season but talking about suicide doesn't have to be one of them. Having a #RealConvo and asking someone directly if they're thinking about suicide will not make them suicidal and can actually help. Visit afsp.org/realconvo for more info.

As of today, AFSP Illinois has raised over $1.2 million through our 2026 Out of the Darkness Community Walks. 🙌 Visit the AFSP IL website to donate and help us reach our 2026 fundraising goal of $1.4 million so we can continue to bring #HOPE to communities across the state!

Mental health is just as important as physical health. 💙 How do you take care of your mental health?

You are strong for: 💚 Embracing vulnerability 💙 Being honest about your emotions 🩷 Talking about your mental health
