Dan is joined by Dr. Jill Harkavy-Friedman, Senior Vice President of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Dan and Dr. Harkavy-Friedman discuss the complexities surrounding suicide, and the stigma that has historically hindered open discussions. Dr. Harkavy-Friedman highlights the role of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in advancing research and advocacy, the challenges of addressing gambling disorders in relation to suicide, and the importance of community engagement in prevention efforts.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health through public education and community programs, develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy, and provides support for those affected by suicide.

AFSP is the largest private funder of suicide prevention research, dedicated to understanding suicide and identifying evidence-informed strategies to help save lives. Researchers can explore its priority areas and grant application process by visiting afsp.org/research.
