Conscious Ink  & AFSP Team Up For Suicide Prevention

Conscious Ink & AFSP Team Up For Suicide Prevention

Conscious Ink is proud to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), whose mission is to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide. With local chapters in all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico, and programs and events nationwide, AFSP creates a culture that’s smart about mental health through public education and community programs; develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy; and provides support for those affected by suicide.

In support of AFSP’s recent Long-Term Survivors of Suicide Loss Summit, the only conference of its kind, Conscious Ink created special temporary tattoos with the phrase #LivingOurStory, encouraging those with a connection to the cause to speak openly about their experiences to help bring suicide out of the darkness. For every packet of tattoos sold, Conscious Ink donates $5 to AFSP, making possible lifesaving support, programming, advocacy, research and more.

Diane Gillen, AFSP’s co-chair of the Summit who initiated this partnership, had this to say:

“We were so excited to be able to offer attendees the opportunity to apply a customized Conscious Ink tattoo that conveyed the theme of our conference. We set up a station near our conference check-in table and loved seeing the enthusiasm from everyone as they each came away with their #LivingOurStory tattoo. Not only did the tattoo represent our shared experiences, but since they are so long-lasting, I know they served as wonderful reminders of the connections that were made during our weekend together. We can’t thank you enough, Conscious Ink!” 

You can help bring suicide out of the darkness by joining one of AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Walks. Take a step toward hope. Apply a tattoo to show your support and get out there and join a Walk – where you’ll find a community of people who understand and are making a difference. Find an Out of the Darkness Walk near you at afsp.org/walks.

Just like our special AFSP tattoos, emotions are also temporary – and help is always available. If you or a loved one is in crisis, please call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or contact the Crisis Text Line by texting TALK to 741741 to talk to someone who can help.
