Who we help

At James’ Place, we offer free, life-saving treatment for men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis. By this, we mean that you might be experiencing intense and distressing suicidal thoughts, perhaps feelings of hopelessness and despair, and you may have made plans or intend to act on your suicidal thoughts. You may have tried to hurt or kill yourself.

We support men in London, the North East and the North West who can self-refer or have been referred to us by a health professional such as a GP, mental health practitioner or voluntary organisation.

What we mean by suicidal crisis

• Intense and distressing suicidal thoughts
