“Hope saved my life”: How the Hope project helped men at risk of suicide
Our study of the Hope project, which aims to help men aged 30-64 who are at risk of suicide, has shown Hope has saved lives and reduced depression and suicidal thoughts. Hope, run by mental health charity Second Step, aims to help men in mental health crisis because of debt, financial, employment or welfare difficulties.
Our applied health research and implementation focus on projects on mental health, public health and prevention, healthier childhoods and integrated and optimal care.
We are committed to a collaborative approach to patient and public involvement in research and the delivery of health care and services, through our partners People in Health West of England.
Our training and capacity building work promotes the development of skills in understanding, using and producing evidence for the health and social care, public health and commissioning workforce, as well as the voluntary sector.
