SAVE was one of the nation's first organizations dedicated to the prevention of suicide and was a co-founding member of the National Council for Suicide Prevention. Our history and growth from an all-volunteer, small grassroots group of passionate survivors led us to what is one of today's leading national not-for-profit organizations with staff dedicated to prevent suicide. SAVE's prevention and education programs are designed to: • Increase knowledge about depression, other brain illnesses and the need for assessment and treatment as suicide prevention. • Increase knowledge about symptoms of depression and the warning signs of suicidal thinking and behavior. • Increase understanding and the use of intervention skills that can help avoid the tragedy of suicide. • Increase knowledge about community resources and how to access and use them.
