St John of God (SJOG) Here to Help
Here to Help is a project from St John of God (SJOG) which aims to raise awareness and provide information, advice and guidance regarding autism and suicidality across the Northeast. SJOG is a national charity supporting people to lead fulfilling lives. We are a diverse charity, supporting over 1500 people - people with disabilities, older people, and people who have an experience of mental health, homelessness or modern-day slavery. <SEND>
People with autism are 9 times more likely to die by suicide than non-neurodiverse people. We work across all 5 Tees Valley regions (Middlesbrough, Stockton, Hartlepool, Darlington and Redcar and Cleveland). We work with autistic people 14+ and those who support them, including parents, carers and professionals.
We are not a crisis service and instead aim to empower individuals to feel able to support their own mental health and find the support that they need during crisis.
Our sessions are free and can be accessed virtually or in-person depending on need, all of which are co-produced where possible.
