Suicide Awareness Voices of Education

SAVE – Suicide Awareness Voices of Education is a national nonprofit working to prevent the tragedy of suicide through education, advocacy, lethal means safety efforts, and support for suicide loss survivors.

We fulfill our mission by:

• Educating and empowering individuals to identify suicide warning signs and refer those at risk to the support they need;
• Distributing free tools to limit access to lethal items in a moment of crisis
• Providing empathetic assistance and valuable resources to help suicide loss survivors navigate the devastating loss of a loved one;
• And advocating at both state and national levels—to amplify the voices of those impacted by suicide and create meaningful change.

By offering free educational resources, teaching life-saving skills, supporting suicide loss survivors, and advocating for change, we believe we can make a significant impact and save lives.

In August 1989, three Minneapolis couples joined together with a common cause. Each had lost a child to suicide. Together, they created SAVE to educate the public about suicide prevention and to serve as a resource and voice for suicide loss survivors. Now, for 36 years, SAVE has been a leading national organization working to prevent suicide.
