Older Adults

Embracing Life's Later Chapters

Growing older brings its own unique set of challenges. The loss of loved ones, physical health issues, and feelings of loneliness or isolation can sometimes feel overwhelming. If you're feeling hopeless, or if you're considering suicide, we ask you to STAY.

Why STAY?

STAY is a commitment to yourself, to your loved ones, and to the wisdom and experiences you've gathered over the years. It's a declaration to seek help when life's challenges feel too heavy to bear alone. It's a reminder that it's never too late to ask for support, and that you don't have to face your struggles alone.
