Reasons to Stay is a suicide prevention website where anyone in the world can write a letter to someone thinking about suicide, giving them warmth, hope and connection. Anonymous letters are delivered at random when you visit the site and are all moderated by clinical volunteers.

The idea behind Reasons to Stay came from identifying a gap where people in crisis are reluctant to take the step to reach out to a helpline or other support. Reasons to Stay provides an interruption to suicide thinking which requires the least engagement from the person in need. This project aims to demonstrate that no matter what, you are never alone. Someone has written a letter to you because they care.
