DESIGN: A case series study, following men entering the service during the first year of operation. PARTICIPANTS: Men experiencing a suicidal crisis referred to the service (N = 265), with N = 176 going on to engage in therapy. INTERVENTION: The James' Place Model is a therapeutic intervention offered to men who are in a suicidal crisis. Trained therapists provide a range of therapeutic approaches and interventions, focusing on decreasing suicidal distress and supporting men to develop resilience and coping strategies. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: CORE-34 Clinical Outcome Measure (CORE-OM). RESULTS: For all subscales of the CORE-OM there was a significant reduction in mean scores between assessment and discharge (p < 0.001), with all outcomes demonstrating a large effect size. All reductions illustrated a clinically significant change or a reliable change. CONCLUSIONS: Our results support the use of the James' Place Model for men in suicidal distress to aid in potentially preventing suicides in this high-risk group of the population.HighlightsEvaluates a brief psychological clinical intervention delivered in the community.Model effectively reduces suicide risk and findings can inform future services.Accessed men receiving an innovative intervention at the time of suicidal crisis.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
