National Survivors of Suicide Day was created by U.S. Senate resolution, through the efforts of Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, who lost his father to suicide. Every year, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) sponsors an event to provide an opportunity for the survivor community to come together for support, healing, information and empowerment.
AFSP's National Survivors of Suicide Day links simultaneous survivor conferences throughout the country and internationally -- each local conference site is organized independently, but they're all connected through a 90-minute broadcast.
