Prince William visited Birmingham today, to officially open the new James’ Place centre as part of Mental Health Awareness Week. The Prince of Wales toured the facility at 34 Harborne Road, which provides free, rapid, face-to-face therapy and life-saving support specifically for men in suicidal crisis. This marks the fourth James’ Place centre he has opened (following those in Liverpool, London, and Newcastle), with the charity focusing on addressing the root causes of suicidal thoughts through professional intervention. Context and Significance • The visit aligns with Mental Health Awareness Week and highlights the higher suicide rates among men. In the West Midlands, ONS data shows that in 2024, 74% of the 560 registered suicide deaths were men. • William met with staff, local partners, individuals who have benefited from the service at other locations, and representatives from related organisations including Papyrus, MindOUT, and the National Suicide Prevention Alliance. • He has long championed mental health, co-founding the Heads Together campaign and speaking openly about the topic, including the emotional toll of losing his mother and his experiences as an air ambulance pilot. A Personal Touch for Birmingham Prince William showed support for his beloved Aston Villa FC (a lifelong passion) by wearing a light blue shirt paired with a claret tie — the club’s colours — shortly after attending their recent Europa League semi-final victory at Villa Park 💜💙 This engagement underscores William’s ongoing commitment to mental health causes and community support as he continues his royal duties. Reports from the day describe it as a focused, impactful visit centred on the charity’s vital work. #PrinceWilliam

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, the Prince of Wales is officially opening James’ Place Birmingham, highlighting the free, life-saving support the charity’s newest centre is providing to men in suicidal crisis. The service is specifically designed for men, who are ‘three times more likely to die by suicide than women.’ The new centre offers rapid, professional therapy that addresses the root causes of suicidal crisis. Suicide is the single leading cause of death for men under 352 & in 2024, 560 deaths by suicide were registered in the West Midlands, 415 of these (74%) were men. In October, James’ Place became one of five founding partners of the new National Suicide Prevention Network (NSPN), established by The Royal Foundation of The Prince & Princess of Wales to drive lasting change to how suicide is understood and prevented across the United Kingdom. Through the Network, funding from The Royal Foundation is supporting James’ Place to pilot two new satellite services over 12 months in the North East & North West of England, expanding access to free, life-saving therapy in community-based settings. During the visit, Prince William will tour the new centre & meet with staff, local partners & service users who have been supported by James’ Place at its other locations. HRH will also meet other fellow NSPN innovation partners, including Papyrus, MindOUT, & The National Suicide Prevention Alliance (NSPA) to discuss what is working across the Network & share key learnings.

Handsome Prince William is opening the James' Place Center in Birmingham, which specializes in free, face-to-face therapy for men experiencing suicidal crises. National Suicide Prevention Network: The Prince’s Royal Foundation is investing £1 million over three years to develop this network, bringing together organizations like Papyrus and MindOUT to combat the biggest killer of young men under 35 in the UK. Focus on Men's Mental Health: The Prince has highlighted the need for more male role models to talk about mental health to make it "second nature to us all." Prince William has spoken openly about his own emotional journey, the challenges of dealing with distress, and the importance of being kind to oneself. But unlike Harry, it is all gloom and doom and telling instead of talking, turning it into his victimhood, Mantra. William is calm, with a reassuring tone as he discusses and listens, then shares. He follows up with realistic positivity of surviving and thriving. And the importance of Self care. William exhibits the results of following thru with therapy, applying the tools, and practicing what he shares, self care, and a positive support system. William is a role model who gives hope. One could see that life can and does go on after tragedy and loss. Positive mental health is manageable. Whereas Harry is clearly very unstable and unbalanced. Decades of therapy have not worked. Harry has traits of Meloncholia. Subtype of depression. He craves on poor me victim narrative attention. He learned this when Diana died how much attention he recd and got what he wanted. So he's used being 'the youngest son' of Diana to his advantage. He still does. But he was not a little bounce. Harry was two weeks shy of turning 13 yrs old when Diana died. But he has always been very immature. He's never grown up. He is emotionally and mentally stunted. Prince William exudes gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation. Harry should not talk about mental health until he changes his frame of mind and walks the talk. Stop taking drugs. Get with a hospitable therapist, psychiatrist, and metabolic regiment management to help balandiagnosisression and other diagnosis'. @KensingtonRoyal @RoyalFamily @ClarenceHouse #PrinceWilliam
