About R;pple

R;pple Suicide Prevention Charity was founded by Alice Hendy after she lost her brother Josh in November 2020 to suicide at 21 years old. Josh had been researching over the internet techniques to take his own life – and he was not alone. Globally, an alarming 1.2 million online searches linked to suicide occur each month.

To ensure more help and support is given to individuals searching for harmful content online, Alice set up R;pple, a digital crisis intervention tool designed to present a visual prompt when a person searches for keywords or phrases relating to the topic of self-harm or suicide. With millions of downloads worldwide, R;pple intercepts thousands of harmful online searches, continually saving lives from suicide. Learn more: www.ripplesuicideprevention.com
