Transforming harmful online searches into a journey of hope
Combatting suicide’s invisible accomplice
At R;pple, we are dedicated to intercepting harmful content related to self-harm and suicide through innovative technology.
Our mission is fuelled by the personal tragedy of our founder, Alice Hendy MBE, who lost her only sibling, her brother Josh, to suicide. Josh had been searching for techniques to take his own life through harmful internet searches. Josh was 21.
By leveraging our innovative technology, we aim to ensure that immediate mental health support and resources are readily available to individuals in their time of need.
