Founding Partners & Contributors

United Suicide Survivors International (United Survivors) is an independent international organization that serves as a home for people who have experienced suicide loss, people who have attempted suicide or who live with suicidal intensity (i.e., thoughts or feelings), and their friends and families — collectively known as people with lived experience with suicide. United Survivors empowers people with lived experience to move from survivors to change agents by developing their ability to deliver safe and effective storytelling and to leverage their expertise for large scale change through advocacy and community engagement. One of the roles United Survivors team played in this project was to ensure the lived experience perspectives were of equal importance with other forms of knowledge.


The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is a voluntary health organization that gives those affected by suicide a nationwide community empowered by research, education and advocacy to take action against this leading cause of death. AFSP is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide.  AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health by engaging in the following core strategies:

• Funding scientific research

• Educating the public about mental health and suicide prevention

• Advocating for public policies in mental health and suicide prevention

• Supporting survivors of suicide loss and those affected by suicide in our mission

Together the collaborative partners contributed resources of funding and service for this exploratory analysis. AFSP served as the funding partner contributing $25,000 to underwrite the project. The members of the Workplace Task Force and United Survivors participated in facilitating focus groups and in-depth interviews. Staff from the Action Alliance helped with administrative support and staff from United Survivors supported the transcription of the recordings. All partners contributed subject matter expertise and partnership engagement.
