Charity providing free, life-saving therapy for men in suicidal crisis in London, the North East, the North West and the West Midlands.

20/08/2026

We are delighted to share that research from James' Place will be presented at the 21st European Symposium on Su***de and Suicidal Behaviour - ESSSB21 in Vilnius, Lithuania next week.

Titled “Implementing and Scaling a Community-Based Su***de Prevention Model for Men in Crisis: Seven Years of Evidence and Impact,” this body of research will be presented by Professor Pooja Saini from Liverpool John Moores University, and represents the first seven years of our evolution — from a small charity proving a new intervention could work, to a growing four-centre organisation with an evidence base demonstrating how and why the therapy works for thousands of men.

If you’re attending the symposium next week, we’d love for you to join the session and hear more about the work of James’ Place, our research and what we’re learning about supporting men in suicidal crisis.

Last week, the government announced a £343 million investment in 159 new NHS mental health facilities across England.

The plans include 100 community mental health centres offering support without a referral, alongside 59 dedicated mental health emergency departments for people experiencing crisis.

At James’ Place, our experience of delivering specialist support has shown us that access is only part of the picture. The way a service is designed and delivered can play an important role in whether someone feels able to engage with it.

We welcome this investment and look forward to seeing the new services developed with the needs and experiences of the people who use them at their heart.

This , we’re celebrating Paul, and the incredible challenge he completed in support of James’ Place. 💙

Paul took on the Pan Celtic Race - a self-supported ultra-distance cycling challenge across Wales and Ireland - raising more than £1,500 to support our work.

After 6 days and 19 hours of determination and endurance, Paul completed the challenge, spending around 85 hours riding along the way.

Reflecting on the experience, Paul said: “For me, this race was never just about riding 1,850 kilometres. It was another reminder of how far life can take you when, five years ago, you weren't even sure you wanted one. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to experience adventures like this, and I never take that privilege for granted.”

We’re so proud of you, Paul, for sharing your story, taking on this incredible challenge and helping us continue to provide free, life-saving therapy for suicidal men. 💙

33 year old plumber Thomas came to James’ Place for free, life-saving therapy after experiencing a suicidal crisis. See the full story below 👇

“Throughout my life, I have carried struggles that I've not dealt with, including years of childhood trauma. In November 2024, a chapter in my life came to an end, and I attempted su***de. Luckily enough I was given another chance at life and was referred to James' Place where I worked with a therapist called Sarah. The methods Sarah used helped me separate each emotion in my head, which helped me to talk about so much that I was wanting to say for a long time. At the end of my therapy I walked away in a better place than I first arrived, comforted by the thought that James’ Place would be there if I ever needed them again.

Two years later I found myself slowly creeping into a crisis again after some difficult events, pressure of everyday life and commitments, adjusting to a new environment, and trying to be strong for my loved ones who were going through a tough time, all got too much. I was referred to the pilot satellite service in Darlington and saw Vicki. This time round the cards really helped me see how one emotion could lead to another. Vicki gave me some honest feedback about some of the unhelpful ways I was thinking about things and how to change that. I now have a much different view of myself. I never thought I was good enough and thought I wasn't as strong as I know I am today. I am not ashamed of my trauma. I know one day I'll be the person that I am truly am inside, and I started day one of that journey at James’ Place.”

Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your story 💙

This , we're celebrating Jake for his incredible support of James' Place. 💙

In June, Jake completed the Leeds Half Marathon, raising more than £550 to support free, life-saving therapy for suicidal men.

On his fundraising page, Jake says, "I truly believe that being a man in this day and age can be one of the loneliest places to be and not enough men talk about how they are feeling."

Thank you, Jake, for taking on this challenge, fighting the stigma around male mental health and helping to save lives.

This month, we submitted evidence to the UK Government’s Mental Health Strategy Call for Evidence.

Our message was simple: su***de prevention must be at the heart of the new Mental Health Strategy.

To save more lives, we need to improve crisis services. But we also need to design funding, partnerships and accountability around reaching people earlier, providing holistic support, and preventing crisis before it occurs.

We make the case that:

- Specialist su***de prevention services should be scaled. Evidence from our work at James’ Place shows that rapid, compassionate, evidence-based support can significantly reduce suicidal distress, yet these services remain outside mainstream commissioning.

- People need connected support, not fragmented systems. Too many are passed between services; effective care relies on coordination, trusted partnerships and addressing both emotional and practical needs.

- Support should come before people are ‘ill enough’. Prevention must be based on distress and need, not just diagnosis or thresholds, and should be gender-informed to account for the differing needs and ways in which men, women and those of different gender identities present.

- Su***de prevention must be everyone’s business. Many of the factors that contribute to suicidal crisis - including debt, housing, relationships and employment - sit outside healthcare, making cross-sector action essential.

- Strong national leadership and local accountability are needed, alongside better use of data to target risk and resources.

We hope the new Mental Health Strategy recognises the vital role that su***de prevention can play in saving lives.

This week, we were delighted to welcome Kit Birks to our London centre following the completion of her extraordinary Stride Beyond Silence: Arctic to Aegean Challenge 🌍💙

After walking the length of Europe across 13 countries in support of su***de prevention, Kit met with our team to see first-hand the difference her incredible fundraising is making.

Through her determination, courage and the generosity of everyone who supported her challenge, Kit has raised enough funds to help over 20 men be fully supported through our life-saving intervention - giving them access to the specialist care and support they need during a time of crisis.

It was a privilege to thank Kit in person and share the impact of her remarkable achievement. We’re incredibly grateful to Kit and everyone who has been part of this journey for standing alongside James’ Place and helping us continue to be there for men in suicidal crisis.

Thank you, Kit, for your dedication and courage, and for helping bring hope and support to more men and their loved ones.💙
