Who we help

At James’ Place, we work with 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 Merseyside and London who can self-refer or have been referred to us by a health professional such as a GP, mental health practitioner or voluntary organisation.

We support men (including those who identify as male), who are 18 and over and are willing and able to engage in talking therapy. You must be registered or eligible for registration with a GP.
