Support Hope.
Half of every purchase supports suicide prevention, research, and education through the American Association of Suicidology. These bulbs will be shipped in the fall, ready to plant for a beautiful spring garden. Help us reach our $1,000 goal to bring hope and support where it is needed most. Put your garden to work for a cause that matters!
The Paul G. Quinnett Lived Experience Writing Competition
The competition aims to increase the visibility of suicide attempt survivors by elevating their personal narratives. These writings describe the impact on the authors and present their journeys in an accessible and understandable manner. Submissions for 2025 open August 11, 2025.
Join us in our mission.
Too many feel silenced, overlooked, and without a path to the support they desperately need. The need for suicide prevention, accurate data, and research has never been more urgent. At AAS, we are committed to ensuring no one faces these struggles alone. Together, we can create change, amplify voices, and provide hope.
