Suicide Prevention and Depression

SAVE was one of the nation’s first organizations dedicated to the prevention of suicide. Their work is based on the foundation and belief that suicide is preventable and everyone has a role to play in preventing suicide. Through raising public awareness, educating communities, and equipping every person with the right tools, they know we can SAVE lives. SAVE is dedicated to saving lives 365 days a year and their public messages about suicide prevention are distributed across the United States utilizing billboards, TV messages, radio, website, and printed materials. Advocacy for suicide prevention is conducted by SAVE individually and in collaboration with other national groups. Faye Bland, a former member of the Board of Directors for SAVE, will speak on the group's efforts to prevent suicide and depression.
