For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we asked some of our community what movement, or being part of an activity group, means to them. #MomentsforMovement

Fascinating talk as always from our trustee Professor Rory O’Connor Rory O'Connor at BatonOfHopeUK conference yesterday #suicideprevention #mentalhealthawarenessweek

The latest independent evaluation of our work by Pooja Saini (She/Her) Liverpool John Moores University shows the free therapy we offer to men in suicidal crisis reduces their psychological distress and has a clinically significant positive impact on their lives. Full report at jamesplace.org.uk/researchers-ba…

For #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek Mental Health Foundation want to get everyone moving. Many of the men we help have used movement as they recover from suicidal crisis, whether that's walking, running, football, boxing or whatever suits them. Get involved by sharing your #MomentsForMovement

Exactly a month until I turn 50.

I never envisaged my goal would be to run the remaining 4 marathons to take me to 100.

It will also be number 47 of 52 in 52 weeks for James’ Place as described on my fundraising page at justgiving.com/page/rohank197… 🙏🏾 #SuicidePrevention

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales The Prince and Princess of Wales officially opened James’ Place Newcastle yesterday, meeting our fantastic team of therapists and some of the men we have already supported in the North East. Read more about the visit jamesplace.org.uk/his-royal-high…

Free, life-saving treatment and support for men in suicidal crisis is what James’ Place does so exceptionally in its centres across the country.

Proud to open its new site in Newcastle which has already helped more than 140 men since opening its doors to referrals in January.

We’re thrilled to be one of the charities benefiting from this fantastic installation Lowther Castle & Gardens. Book your ticket to visit at lowthercastle.org #fundraisingfriday

New real time suicide data have been released by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities & show a sharp jump in January 2024.

Coming soon after ONS reported higher rates in 2023, this is a concern.

On the other hand, it is a single month figure in a developing dataset.

How worried should we be?

'At the end of 2023 I made an attempt on my life. Everything had got on top of me professionally and in my personal life and I just couldn’t deal with it anymore.' Darek shares his story of recovering from a suicidal crisis with the help of James' Place. jamesplace.org.uk/dareks-story/

Sunday was 43 of 52 marathons in 52 weeks for James’ Place. I'm in awe of the work they're doing to transform the lives of so many men in suicidal crises.

All donations are so appreciated at justgiving.com/page/rohank197….

Running is the easy part for me, but for so long it wasn't

Great to visit James’ Place in #Newcastle and see the fantastic, free and life-saving treatment they offer to men facing suicidal crisis buff.ly/4aLGnUs
