You are not alone.

Rachel Kelly established Reasons To Stay in response to her experiences with clinical depression, developing the initiative into a resource hub for suicide prevention through shared narratives of recovery. The organization maintains a curated collection of first-person accounts from individuals who have navigated suicidal ideation and found paths forward. Community members contribute their personal reasons for living, creating an evolving archive of authentic survival stories. The platform's Stay Alive mobile application provides users with digital safety planning capabilities, direct crisis support connections, and customizable coping strategy tools. The app's signature lifeBox feature enables individuals to document and access their personal reasons for living during difficult moments. Reasons To Stay maintains formal partnerships with established mental health organizations including Samaritans and CALM. The initiative combines peer support methodology with practical crisis intervention resources to serve both individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts and their support networks. Mental health professionals can refer clients to the platform's structured tools and moderated community spaces. The organization facilitates connections between users and clinical support services while preserving the authenticity of lived experience narratives.
