Prevention in Every Parish

Whether you're a student, parent, coach, or educator, we’re here to support your mental wellness journey. Our curated resources are designed to empower, inform, and uplift every member of our school communities. Explore tools, guides, and strategies tailored to your role.
 

AFSP Louisiana has set a goal to bring at least one prevention education program to every Louisiana parish – but we cannot do it alone. We’re calling for all community leaders, agencies, and stakeholders to help us bring suicide prevention to the entire state! 

​

And we are not stopping there. As part of our stragetic initative, AFSP Louisiana and the Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation have set a goal to bring suicide prevention education to 100,000 Louisiana students, teachers, parents, and community members! 

​

As of July 2026, we've presented suicide prevention programs to 20+ parishes impacting students and teachers across the state!

​

The Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation has been instrumental in bringing AFSP's It's Real: Teens and Mental Health to schools across Louisiana. Follow AFSP Louisiana and The Rain Will Bring Flowers Foundation on Facebook for updates on our progress!
