About Stay Alive

This app is a pocket suicide prevention resource for the UK, packed full of useful information and tools to help you stay safe in crisis. You can use it if you are having thoughts of suicide or if you are concerned about someone else who may be considering suicide.

In addition to the resources, the app includes a safety plan, customisable reasons for living, and a LifeBox where you can store photos that are important to you.

You can also read the tips on how to stay grounded when you’re feeling overwhelmed, try the guided-breathing exercises and support your own wellness by creating your own interactive Wellness Plan.

The app links you directly to local and national crisis resources, so you won't need to carry around slips of paper with contact details on, it's all stored there within the app. If the resource isn't listed, simply add in your own.

Grassroots Suicide Prevention is a charity that supports communities to prevent suicide. We teach suicide prevention skills to community members and professionals. We work hard to raise awareness of suicide prevention and reduce the stigma surrounding suicide. Grassroots Suicide Prevention is not a crisis or helpline service.

I have used it for myself and others. Only thing is that LifeBox puts all the photos up side down. A flip option would be super useful.

R70%
by R####:

Doesn't really help me. But rated it five stars because I know it'll help someone.

I DON'T WANNA LIVE

R70%

Saves my life every time I want to atempt

X70%
by X####:

Seems promising but I feel like the 'reasons for living' section is unhelpful - during a suicidal episode, many of the options won't be tickable, and having an empty list will instead feel like a reason NOT TO live. The family and friends section is also quite guilt-inducing :/

R70%
by R####:

I really love it, especially the lifebox. Would be great to have the ability to save bigger pictures and be able to zoom in like in your phone galary as it's hard to see sometimes. Also a place to save writing would be amazing.. just nice quotes or helpful things people say etc. :)

R70%
by R####:

I think it needs an panic button. Something you can just press and it calls a helpline, or the number of an emergency contact you can set. It's a good app, just not something I think will personally help me. It's very information heavy and it seems like it'd be better for those who are worried about others, rather than the people it's aimed at, but obviously everyone is different.

G70%
by G####:

This app does help a lot lately been going through tough times but then I read and look at my life box and remember. Just a great app

Y70%
by Y####:

Install it but, more important, use it often. Perhaps the app needs a reminder feature.

L70%

It's a shame the crisis support only offers support for Sussex Brighton and Hove. There should be something for all area's.

It would be great if I was in the UK but I'm in the U.S so it's no help to me or at least from what I could find all the links went to the U.K only...

Q70%
by Q####:

The crisis team in nhs hospital give this to people on the edge of suicide, instead of offering real help to people, this is my 3rd time being given a sheet of websites because the nhs don't want to help anyone until the damage has been done, I have waited in hospital with the I in need only to be turned away after 6 ro 8 hours of waiting to see the crisis team, after the person has self harmed to stop them selves from comitting suicide, so after reading you app I don't see the point to it, im sorry....

Informative and easy to use. Would love to see the main menu as icons to tap; would make it look slicker and easier to use. How about a list of useful websites not just helplines/forums. Great work!

Z70%
by Z####:

A great app with huge potential for the mental health trust that I work for and those at risk of self harm and suicide.

U70%
by U####:

It's a well designed app full of really critical info which can save lives. I agree with some of the other comments around having a dashboard for direct access into key info based on the person's current situation. Maybe a card-by-card approach offering a suggestion at a time, as the amount of info on some pages is extensive and I wonder if it could be a little overwhelming if someone is in a critical position. These are just suggestions to make it even better though, as it is already excellent!
