Armed Forces Mission, founded in 2012, has established itself as a vital part of the veteran community of the Southern Crescent and is impacting the lives of troops and veterans nationwide. AFM has worked with more than 25,000 troops with a mission of building resilience and restoring hope through various initiatives to strengthen emotional, mental, and spiritual health.
AFM’s primary mission of suicide intervention and training has resulted in more than 120 lives directly saved through AFM staff. Additionally, many other lives have been saved through AFM’s I Will Intervene Challenge that has trained more than 2,200 community caregivers in the skills of crisis intervention. The I Will intervene Challenge offers one and two-day workshops in suicide intervention and mental health first-aid for all who want to learn the skills that are saving lives.
AFM’s latest initiative is the NO MORE SUICIDE Campaign, a grassroots movement to raise awareness throughout the community and our nation. Faith groups, schools and other community organizations are joining in the effort to address the issues of suicide.
