New Facebook URL for International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP)

Feb. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) has shortened the URL to its Facebook fan page to http://facebook.com/IASPinfo.

In late 2009, a Facebook Fan page was created for the IASP and a long URL was assigned.  Since then, 7,600 Facebook users have become Fans of  the IASP, supporting its local and worldwide suicide prevention initiatives. The Facebook URL has now been shortened to allow Facebook and other Web users easy access to the page.

(The old URL was http://facebook.com/pages/International-Association-for-Suicide-Prevention/115204064521)
