The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - Nebraska Chapter’s mission is to save lives and bring hope to Nebraskans affected by suicide. The grassroots work they do focuses on eliminating the loss of life from suicide by delivering innovative prevention programs, educating the public about risk factors and warning signs, raising funds for suicide research and programming, and connecting to individuals and families who have lost someone to suicide. Area Director Cindi Horning says, "We are so excited to be joining the CHAD family and sharing the resources available to all Nebraskans. “ AFSP will be instrumental in the rollout of the new national hotline, 988. Starting July 1, anyone facing a mental health crisis can dial 988 to text or talk with a mental health professional.
