Marva, 

The first verb structure is '  (pour) aider (qqn) à FAIRE qqc  ' - giving the structure ' pour m'aider à rester .... " in this case.

For other verbs that similarly require the preposition à when followed by a subsequent verb (which will be in the infinitive form), have a look at the link below :
