The American Association of Suicidology (AAS) is America’s oldest and largest membership-driven non-profit association which aims to promote the understanding and prevention of suicide. After more than 50 years, the association continues to grow and provides a centralized hub in support of its mission and in service to the public and its membership. AAS brings together clinicians, crisis centres, prevention professionals, researchers, survivors of suicide loss, and suicide attempt survivors. The association programmes include an annual conference, a professional journal, training, and accreditation programmes, psychological autopsy training, and dissemination of resources and information. AAS recognizes the outstanding achievements of individuals in the field of suicidology and presents awards annually for research, service, and career milestones. In recent years, AAS has increased its partnerships and collaborations with organizations whose missions and target audience overlap with AAS.
