Sean’s Place

Sean’s Place is a men’s mental health and wellbeing organisation in Merseyside. It aims to prevent suicide and poor mental health through workshops and activities that boost confidence, build self-esteem, and reduce social isolation. Sean’s Place also supports families through training and workshops that enable them to understand their loved one’s mental health also educating them about support available in the community.

Our work in suicide prevention

We provide early intervention support to reduce the level of male suicide in the community including workshops that provide opportunities to share lived experiences, learn techniques and tools to manage their mental health and connect with others to reduce isolation. We also provide confidence building sessions such as Art/ Cookery/Music lessons/ Woodwork and fishing additionally we deliver one to one therapies for those who require this.

We open evenings to ensure we can reduce the large number of suicides in males who work and can’t attend face to face support during working hours.

We provide support to families to share training and knowledge which will enable them to support their loved ones at home and access further support in the community if and when required.

Our current priorities

We aim to enhance and expand our services by collaborating with other organisations to create a comprehensive support network for men in the community. Our plans include securing a dedicated venue to increase accessibility and provide support to more men. We are committed to reducing suicides in Sefton by offering critical insights and feedback to the local authority’s Suicide Prevention Board.

Our current challenges

Not having sole use of a venue is restricting the services we can provide and deliver.
