Men’s charity has helped more than 1,250 in suicide crisis

A suicide charity for men marked five years since opening in 2018 and says it has treated more than 1,250 men during that time.

Men typically receive six to eight face to face sessions with a professional therapist in a friendly, non-clinical environment.
