Reasons to Stay is a suicide prevention project reaching people at difficult moments through anonymous letters written by volunteers.
Each letter on the site was written by a real person and delivered to you at random when you visited the page.
The space exists as a reminder that we are not alone, even when it feels that way. There is someone, somewhere who wrote you a letter because they care.
If you’d like to, you can write your own letter to a stranger giving warmth, hope and connection to someone when they need it most.
All letters are moderated by a wonderful team of volunteer clinical moderators who are all clinically trained professionals with experience supporting people in distress. The team ensure that all letters are safe to be read by people in suicidal distress before they are published to the site and delivered to visitors.
This project was designed in memory of Sam West, who took his own life in 2018. If you’re struggling right now, reaching out to a support service or someone you trust could really help.
