About R;pple
R;pple Suicide Prevention Charity was founded by Alice Hendy MBE after she lost her brother Josh to suicide at 21 years old. Josh had been researching over the internet techniques to take his own life. 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.
