Josh had been researching techniques to take his own life via harmful internet searches. To ensure more help and support is given to individuals searching for harmful content online, Alice set up Ripple.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">Ripple is a digital tool, which if a user searches for harmful content online, they will first be guided through a filter of breathing exercises and then very simple, uncluttered and calmly presented strategies and forums, help lines and mental health services they can access both now and longer term: accompanied with messages of hope and encouragement to keep safe.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">Awards founder Francesca James said: \u2018Every year I am blown away with the quantity and quality of applications we receive, and this year is no exception.
