Happy Birthday, Speedy!

Jeret was born as the youngest brother to Kimmy and Erika on December 12, 1982.

On this day, in 2011, The Speedy Foundation filed our paperwork to become a 501c3 Nonprofit organization in memory of Jeret “Speedy” Peterson. This is the 7 year anniversary of our organization.

On this date, in 2011, we lost Speedy to suicide. Suicide is always a very complex loss. We work in his memory with the hope that others are able to find help, hope, and healing. Be a champion for mental health and suicide prevention in Speedy’s memory.

AFSP State Capitol Days bring together passionate volunteers to advocate for state policy changes that will improve mental health and prevent suicide. We will meet with our state legislators during the event to:

• Share with them why suicide prevention is important to YOU and to your community
• Educate them about the work being done in your community to prevent suicide
• Teach them what more must be done to prevent suicide.

The event will include a brief training session on the basics of an effective advocacy visit and current policy issues. We will then go on several in-person visits with state legislators that will be scheduled ahead of time. 

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Suicide is the leading cause of death for Utah’s youth.

Help prevent youth suicide by learning how to identify and support an adolescent experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. This training is designed to teach parents, teachers, coaches and anyone who regularly interacts with young people, how to identify and support an adolescent in crisis and thus reduce their risk of suicide. Anyone 18 or older can take YMHFA, but it is recommended for those who regularly have contact with young people ages 12 to 18.
