Every 40 seconds we lose a loved one by suicide. And for every loss there are many more who attempt. Losing just one person to suicide is one too many. People need to know that they are not alone, that help exists, and that hope is possible when we are given the chance to heal.

We’re asking people one thing: Please stay alive. Stay for the possibility of change. Stay for better days. Stay to find and embrace community, and to become that community for someone else. Please, whatever you do, just stay.
