James' Place
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
James' Place Charity was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts but didn’t find it. James\\\' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected. The first James’ Place opened in June 2018 in Liverpool, the first of its kind in the UK, and our second centre opened in London in 2022. We have supported more than 1,250 men experiencing suicidal crisis and delivered over 5,300 therapy sessions across our two centres. We will open a centre in Newcastle by the end of 2023.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
James' Place offers men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. The intervention is delivered free of charge by trained, professional therapists in our centres in Liverpool and London. We will open a centre in Newcastle by the end of 2023.
