I HAVE Challenge

The I HAVE CHALLENGE is more than just a movement — it’s a declaration. A declaration of life. A declaration of healing. A declaration of hope. We are here to remind each other that no matter how dark the storm, there is always a reason to choose life.

When you say "I HAVE," you’re not just speaking words; you’re making a commitment. You’re standing against silence, shame, and the darkness that often surrounds mental health struggles. Together, we will show the world that no matter where you are on your journey, there is always hope.

How the I HAVE CHALLENGE Works
The question is simple, but the answer is powerful.

• Reflect on the Question:
  Have you ever thought about suicide?
• Say "I HAVE":
  If the answer is yes, the challenge is to say "I HAVE" — a declaration that you are choosing life, choosing hope, and rejecting the darkness. Saying "I HAVE" means you are standing strong and sharing your story, your pain, and your resilience.
• Share a Short Message of Hope (Optional):
  After saying "I HAVE," we invite you to share a brief message of hope. This can be something that has helped you, words you wish you had heard during dark times, or simply a reminder that others are not alone. This step is optional, and you should only share what feels comfortable.
• Tag 3 Others:
  After declaring "I HAVE" and sharing your message, tag three others to take the challenge and join in spreading hope. The challenge is about building a community of support, and each person who says "I HAVE" helps encourage three more to choose life.
• For Families of Loved Ones Lost to Suicide:
  If you’ve lost a loved one to suicide and want to participate in their honor, you can take the I HAVE CHALLENGE for them. Share their story, express how their loss has affected you, and remind others that the pain of suicide is real, but so is the importance of choosing life.

Your message could look something like:
I am taking the I HAVE CHALLENGE for [Name] because we lost them to suicide. I want others to know that they are missed, and that choosing life is worth it. Please join me in sharing the message of hope.
Then, tag three others to continue spreading this important message.

• Share on Social Media:
  Use the hashtags #IHAVE and #IHAVECHALLENGE to help spread the word. By sharing your story, you become part of a global community of individuals who have chosen life and are inspiring others to do the same.
