Five years ago today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, Alice Hendy MBE founded Ripple Su***de Prevention following the loss of her brother Josh to su***de.
From that deeply personal experience came a determination to help others find support at the moment of crisis.
Five years later, Ripple technology is protecting people across 110+ countries and territories and has intercepted more than 120,000 harmful searches. 32 people have told us that it saved their life.
None of this would have been possible without the supporters, partners and organisations who believe in our mission and have supported us along the way. We are incredibly grateful to every one of you. 💜
Today, Alice is sharing six signs of su***de you might not think are signs, along with guidance on how to respond with care. 💜
