R;pple Suicide Prevention | South East
Alice lost her brother, Josh, in November 2020 to suicide. After examining Josh’s devices, Alice found Josh had been researching techniques to take his own life via harmful internet searches. To ensure support is provided to individuals in crisis and searching for harmful content online, Alice set up R;pple; a digital tool, which if a user searches for harmful content, they will be guided through breathing exercises and then calmly presented mental health services accessible now longer term.
