The Ripple App transforms harmful online searches into a journey of hope by discreetly intercepting flagged search terms and signposting users to free, 24/7 mental health support.


There are 1.2 million internet searches for ways to take your own life every month, globally, and searches for suicide hotlines have increased by 125% since January 2019. The Number one leading cause of death for people in the UK aged 20 - 34 is suicide.

Ripple is an innovative digital crisis intervention tool designed to ensure more help and support is provided to individuals conducting searches related to self-harm or suicide. Its focus is on proactive intervention, bridging the gap between individuals in crisis and the help they require?

By installing Ripple on your device, or supporting our mission, you become a part of a movement dedicated to saving lives and promoting a brighter, better-informed conversation around mental health.
