Stay With Me is a real-time support app created under the vision of Intersect Institute, equipping ordinary people to respond with hope, compassion, and practical steps when someone is in emotional or suicidal crisis.
Solutions to Real Issues - in Realtime
Guided by human-centered, ethically grounded AI, the app empowers users to offer immediate care, break stigma, and connect individuals to life-saving resources, ensuring no one faces their darkest moments alone.
This app was developed by the Intersect Institute, a nonprofit equipping communities and churches with mental health and faith-based resources. Our mission is to give ordinary people practical tools to step into moments of crisis with compassion and wisdom.
The app provides guided questions to help you support someone who may be thinking about suicide. It is designed to increase confidence in caring conversations while encouraging connection to professional help.
The app is not a crisis service or substitute for therapy, medical care, or emergency services. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911 (or your local emergency number). In the U.S., you can also call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
My name is Shannon Thomas, LPC-S. As a counselor and pastor, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it can be to know what to say when someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts. This app was created to give you gentle guidance in those moments. You don’t have to be a professional to show compassion...you just need to be willing to ask and to listen.
