The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) has a bold new plan for reducing the annual rate of suicide in the U.S. by 20% by 2025. AFSP’s Project 2025 is using the “top minds in the mental healthcare field coupled with dynamic data modeling” to target four key focus areas, which they have deemed represent the highest potential to reach the most people at risk for suicide in the shortest amount of time. These include: healthcare systems, emergency departments, firearms, and corrections systems.
