Live. Stay. Project's mission is suicide prevention and intervention. Research shows that any level of support can make a difference in a person's life that that is in need. Whether you are a professional mental health service provider, or just a person who is willing to be there for someone in need, we have a place for you.
If you would like to raise your hand to sponsor someone who said they could use a little encouragement, please fill out this form. You are committing to reaching out in some way several times a month for at least a month. We will be putting together some resources for sponsors so they know how to be supportive. It is important to note that volunteers need not fear a massive commitment that they are going to have to deal with situations they are not equipped for. If a true crisis arises you will be instructed on how to get the right people involved. We are going to try to pair each person with volunteers that are the same gender, the same age or younger, and when possible geographically close.
We suspect that there will be people who sign up to both give and receive encouragement, and that is totally OK.
