Your People Are One Conversation Away From Saving a Life. Are They Ready?
Stay Here gives your organization the complete suicide prevention system — training, protocols, crisis tools, and certification — so every leader, volunteer, and mentor on your team is equipped to see the signs, respond with confidence, and be the reason someone stays. No other program offers all of this in one place. And the sooner your team is ready, the more lives you can protect.

The People You Serve Are Facing a Crisis. And Now There's a Way to Be Ready.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 10 to 34. It's also the second leading cause of death for veterans under 45. Two and a half million teens had serious suicidal thoughts last year. Over six thousand veterans die by suicide every year. These are the people sitting across from your leaders right now — at club, at camp, at meetings, at the barracks. Most organizations haven't had the tools or training to respond to this — and that's not a failure, it's a gap that Stay Here was built to close. Four out of five people show warning signs before a crisis. When your team knows what to look for, lives are saved.
From First Training to Full Certification
Everything your organization needs — in order.
1) Train Leaders & Volunteers
Certify your entire team with ACT Suicide Prevention Training in 90 minutes. Whether you serve teenagers or veterans, your team learns to Acknowledge, Connect, and Take Action.
2) Establish Crisis Protocols
Clear, step-by-step procedures for suicidal ideation, self-harm, abuse disclosures, and emergencies. When a teenager or veteran opens up, your team knows exactly what to do.
3) Set Safe Boundaries
Proven safety frameworks covering boundaries, reporting, communication, and duty-of-care. Build the organization where people feel safe enough to speak up.
4) Deploy Lifeline NFC Bands
One tap connects anyone to crisis support. They go wherever your people go — club, camp, the barracks, home. A wearable lifeline that never turns off.
5) Equip With Small Group Material
Resources and curriculum built for real settings — Young Life clubs, ROTC units, veteran groups, Bible studies. Make mental health a normal conversation.
6) Faith Community Connection
Optional warm referral pathways to local Stay Here Safe Churches. An option for students and families who want long-term community support beyond school.
7) Get Certified
Earn Certified Stay Here Safe School status. Display it at your entrance. Let every parent and student know: this school cares about lives.

“We work with hundreds of people every week. Before Stay Here, our volunteers didn't know what to do when someone opened up about wanting to die. Now every leader is trained. We have protocols. We are ready. Not just well-intentioned. Actually ready.”
