American Foundation for Suicide Prevention West Texas Chapter

is ending, but the need for connection, support, and advocacy is still here, and is stronger than ever. 💙

One of the most hopeful things we can do is learn how to use our voices for change. Advocacy doesn’t have to be intimidating - sometimes it just starts with showing up, learning, and caring about what happens to people we love, to our communities where we live.

Join us for Advocacy 101 if you’d like to learn more about how mental health advocacy happens at the local, state, and federal level and that saves lives and brings hope.
