About The Stay Café

A Mental Health Third Space Where You Belong

The Stay Café is more than a coffee shop — it’s a vision for a sanctuary of belonging. We’re building a new kind of space designed to prevent suicide by transforming how we connect, care, and show up for one another.

Rooted in peer support, community healing, and prevention science, Stay Café will be a mental health–centered third space: a warm, welcoming environment that’s not home, not work — but a place where you can just be.

In Development — and We Need Your Help

In a world overwhelmed by isolation, pressure, and loneliness, Stay Café is our answer: a space where mental health isn’t hidden — it’s embraced. But to bring this space to life, we need your support.

Every donation helps lay the foundation — from furniture to food, training to rent. Your contribution brings us one step closer to opening our doors and creating a place where people feel safe to stay.

🔗 Donate today to help build Stay Café. Together, we can create a space where belonging saves lives.

Why a Third Space?

In a world of isolation, loneliness, and pressure, Stay Café creates a new kind of social infrastructure — one that fosters connection over consumption, and presence over performance.

Here, mental health is not a crisis to hide — it’s a shared experience we meet with compassion.

Our Mission

To prevent suicide by reducing isolation, fostering connection, and offering a soft place to land when life feels overwhelming.

Whether you're struggling or simply need somewhere you're not alone — this space is for you.

Why “Stay”?

Because we believe that you matter.
Because one safe conversation can change the trajectory of a life.
Because we want you to stay for the story, the connection, the next breath.
