Who we help
To this day I find it remarkable this service remains free and able to operate at the speed it does to help people like me. I could not recommend James’ Place enough to anyone who may be suffering.
James' Place client
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.
