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?
