The 2024 Indy Tech Gives campaign has raised over $70,000 for nonprofits. AFSP is so very thankful to Tactive for choosing us to be your nonprofit partner this year and raising $4,000 for our chapter!

With the collective efforts of over 220 employees from eleven tech companies, the 5-week fundraising challenge showcased the generosity of the Indy Tech community. Thank you for this opportunity!

This May, for Mental Health Awareness Month, we are continuing to #TalkAwayTheDark! This campaign has educated people across the country on how to spot the warning signs for suicide and begin a conversation that lets someone who needs support know that help is available. Our message provides guidance on how to connect someone to help when they feel hesitant to receive support, shares how to validate the fears and feelings of a person in crisis, lets them know you hear them, and reassures them there is no shame in getting support for a matter involving their health. Connecting a person in crisis to help is a necessary step in suicide prevention –– and one that can save a life. Help us #TalkAwayTheDark: afsp.org/TalkAwayTheDark

For this Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re thrilled to partner with over 30 coffee shops across Indiana to distribute 30,000 coffee sleeves, each carrying vital information on mental health & crisis resources! Let’s brew up some conversations, break the stigma, and offer support - one cup at a time #afspindiana #mentalhealthawareness
