What is STAY?

STAY is a community-wide suicide prevention campaign built around a simple idea: there is still so much left to experience.

Life can be difficult. Sometimes the hard moments can feel so overwhelming that it becomes difficult to see beyond them—to recognize the good that still exists, find joy in the little things, or imagine what might be waiting around the corner.

STAY is about giving people a reason to look a little further.

A reason might be something big: a dream, a future goal, a person you love, or a place you've always wanted to see. Or it might be something wonderfully small: your favorite song, your morning coffee, your dog waiting at the door, a good meal, a summer day, or simply wanting to see what happens next.

Through STAY, we're inviting our community to share their reasons for living—their reasons for choosing to STAY. By sharing those reasons, we can remind others that they aren't alone and that there may be more moments of joy, connection, discovery, and possibility still ahead.

NEED SUPPORT?

STAY is NOT a crisis counseling service, but support IS available.

You don’t have to face moments alone.

If you're struggling, having a difficult time, just want someone to talk with, or are worried about someone you care about, please reach out.
