The Meaning Behind the Name

22 Reasons to Stay was inspired by the statistic that an estimated 22 American veterans lose their lives to suicide each day.

While the number represents a heartbreaking reality for those who served our country, it also serves as a call to action. Every life lost reminds us how important it is to support one another, speak openly about mental health, and make sure no one feels alone in their struggles.

Our organization was created to honor those veterans by turning that number into something hopeful. Instead of focusing only on the loss, 22 Reasons to Stay represents the countless reasons every person has to keep going, even during their darkest moments.

Inspired by the 22, our mission extends beyond veterans to anyone facing mental health challenges. We believe every life has value, every story matters, and everyone deserves support, connection, and hope.

Because sometimes all someone needs is one reason to stay.
