In episode 224 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Andy Noon. Andy currently works as Head of Centre at the Liverpool branch of a charity called James' Place. James' Place is a charity offering free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men in their centres, currently in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. The charity was founded by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley following the tragic death of their son James to suicide in 2006. Clare and Nick were determined to prevent other families from losing loved ones and set up James' Place to provide support for men in suicidal crisis whose needs are not met by existing services. James's Place goal and purpose is to stop men dying by suicide. They do this by intervening at the point of suicide for these men and their professional therapists get quickly to the heart of a man's suicidal crisis and help him solve it. In this episode, we discuss the work he does at James Place and the work it does for men and the factors and triggers that bring these men to their suicidal state. We dive into what James' Place does to help these men, get back to leading a normal life and most importantly, in the words of James Place, ‘find hope for the future'. We also discuss the importance of avoiding terms like ‘toxic masculinity', why despite these men feeling suicidal, the vast majority are not mentally ill and are simply responding to negative trauma events in their life such as relationship breakdown, grief, unemployment or other triggers. For Andy's mental health, he has gone through two periods of his life where he experienced intense mental health difficulties. The first was in 2013 where he began experiencing anxiety and panic attacks. He also failed his university degree but out of shame and stigma, did not disclose it to anyone and put on a lot of weight. He was also in a job he did not want to be in long-term and felt, in his words, ‘stuck'. The second period came in 2020 which came from a culmination of events including a relationship breakdown, grief, a physical injury which made him bed-bound for three months and work-place stress. We discuss both these periods, how they affected his mental health and how he recovered from them.

Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 6 pm Trinity Church, Lakeville, CT TICKETS Sunday, March 12, 2023 at 4 pm Saint James Place, Great Barrington, MA TICKETS Carissimi's Jephte and Missa L'Homme armé This program features some of the great vocal repertoire before the era of Bach and Vivaldi: works by the 17th century Italian composer Giacomo Carissimi. Carissimi – who continued Claudio Monteverdi's legacy of dramatic vocal music – tells the story of a human tragedy in one of the first oratorios, “Jephte.” The Israelite general Jephte and his people celebrate a great military victory, and then sink into despair over the loss of Jephte's beloved daughter. Like in later oratorios – similar to opera – the main characters are sung by soloists: a tenor and a soprano. The narrator role is fulfilled by solos, duets, and ensemble and choral numbers. Among the latter is the famous “Plorate filii Israel” (Weep, Oh ye children of Israel), a lament for six voices by the daughter's virgin companions, in which they bewail her misfortune. This oratorio leaves nothing to be de- sired, as it presents the full spectrum of emotions: from joy, fear and anger, love and tenderness, triumphal ex- altation, desperation and sadness

Por trás dela, nada de excepcional parece chamar a atenção no pequeno descampado estabelecido metro e meio acima do plano da calçada, o solo coberto de musgo e ervas daninhas. À primeira vista, aparenta ser apenas um terreno baldio, simples vazio urbano dando para os fundos deteriorados de prédios populares de três e cinco andares.

Skyzoo joins me on the podcast this week to chat about the vision the MC had from his brownstone stoop on St. James Place, just down the block from The Notorious B.I.G.'s old stomping grounds. We also chat about going to school on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Since students came from all five boroughs, all ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds, I drill down to find out the impact his environment has had on him and his love of music, and his entrepreneurial drive to become more than meets the eye. Of course, this all leads up to the very much anticipated, “All The Brilliant Things” being unleashed very soon. Enjoy!

My guest this week is Matt Haig, author of bestselling books Reasons To Stay Alive, How To Stop Time, and Notes On A Nervous Planet - which is one of my top most favourite books which sits firmly on my bedside table. His new book, The Midnight Library, is out now and is a number one Sunday Times Bestseller, was an instant New York Times bestseller, and was a BBC Two Between The Covers book club pick. This episode is not sponsored but I would like to talk about James’ Place. This charity exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis. Suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 50. The first James’ Place opened two years ago in Liverpool, the first of its kind in the UK, and has supported more than 400 men experiencing suicidal crisis, delivered by trained therapists. A new James’ Place will open in London in early 2021. The charity was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley, my in-laws, after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts, but didn’t find it. A new James Place will open in London in early 2021.

This week we toast it up and chat with the amazing Melissa Neptune of Josephine's Creme and the amazing Marvina Robinson of Stuyvesant Champagne. About Josephine's Creme My grandmother started making this Creme in her small Louisiana kitchen and began gifting it to the women in her family. I distinctly remember the day this family tradition was passed down to me. During a visit home from attending college in New Orleans, she called out to me, “MELISSA! Get in this kitchen and learn how to make this creme!” I guess she got tired of me always running out AND running to her for more! It never crossed my mind that our family tradition could become an entrepreneurial venture. I began making some of the Creme and gifting it to my friends. My friends loved it. They told others… and they loved it, too. And now Josephine's Creme has grown into a full line of skincare "secrets" that we know you will grow to love! About M. Robinson Growing up, M. Robinson's love affair with champagne began quite humbly as a college student. She and her friends would often pool their limited funds to purchase a bottle of Moet & Chandon, White Star. They frequented a liquor store on Fulton Street and St. James Place within the neighborhood she was raised. They would do the traditional toast, cheers, and proudly sip out of their plastic cups. Although this Bottle of Nostalgia was discontinued, it stoked a love for champagne in Marvina's heart that would burn brightly until this day. M. Robinson desired her own brand of champagne to serve as the private house label for her upcoming champagne bar. In order to achieve that goal, she worked with a vineyard in France to create Stuyvesant Champagne. The first tasting of Stuyvesant Champagne was hosted by Suite 607 located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This was the first official tasting in the United States with invited guests. After receiving great feedback from the carefully selected attendees, she was able to confirm the two selections that would become the primary offering of Stuyvesant Champagne; a Rose and a Grand Reserve Brut. One of M. Robinson's fondest memories of champagne occurred in January of 2019 when she visited the famous Les Deux Magots in Paris, France. She sat outside in the cold, under a heated lamp, chatted with a fellow patron, and sipped champagne as they did in the movies. M. Robinson has a zest for life and travels and hopes to bring a taste of home, spice, and culture to the Champagne community. She is one of the few African American women owning a Champagne brand. Her love for her hometown, Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn, NY), inspired the name of her brand, Stuyvesant Champagne. She invites you to raise a glass and toast to the freshness of family and beginnings of a strong and fruitful relationship. Rose Composition: Traditional blend of the 3 Champagne grape varieties from several harvests. Made up of approximately 60% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay for the white wine. A Pinot Meunier-based red wine is added. Bottles: 750 ml To the Eye: The salmon-colored rose enhances the sparkling foam. Nose: The generous bouquet evolves towards notes of raspberry and redcurrant. Mouth: The mouth develops into a taste of fleshy cherry. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/therosehourpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/therosehourpodcast/support

James Knight is now a Financial Advisor with St James Place. Previously he served as a Royal Marine officer. One notable event was whist leading a 30-man platoon as a commander in Iraq with 1 PWRR. They got pinned down for 8 hours under constant fire - surrounded by a far larger force. They had small-arms, MG & rocket fire constantly in-coming, but held their cordon. The Military Cross (MC) award for gallantry was awarded to James in 2007 for the platoon working together & collaborating under danger & great drama with no losses.James tells an inspirational story about a RM Corporal in the Aegean Sea rescuing migrants drowning. Sadly, a number of them had already drowned & he took on the gristly job to pull out the dead bodies. That was not a task that anybody willingly takes on, but he & his team did it, without complaint, leading the way for the other more reluctant members of the ship to do more too. The Corporal was a natural leader. He repeatedly went above & beyond his duty to do things that others were not willing to do. Quiet & modest - Huge respect for doing the jobs others wouldn’t do. James himself I found to be a humble leader who learn from getting it wrong. “As a troop commander I was mistakenly trying to win the popularity of those I led. Actually I eroded my own authority & boundaries by trying to be their friend & too popular. Instead what I should have sought is respect which is crucial. We all need boundaries”.Top Tip - “Beware over-control as a leader. Let go to the point where you start to feel uncomfortable - that’s the right amount of autonomy!” #InspiringLeadership #leadership #CEOs #MotivationalSpeaker #teamcoach #InclusiveLeadership #Boards See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's another packed Weekender Neil Atkinson, Adam Melia, Kev Walsh, Lizzi Doyle and Mike Nevin. Also in the show, John Gibbons talks to Jane Boland about James Place, a suicide crisis centre for men, and what the charity have been up to in the last few months since the Talk Tonight event. Neil Atkinson also has a chat with Frances Molloy about a monumental week for Tyred, the campaign to ban old tyres on coaches and buses, as government unexpectedly announced midweek that they are to consult on options to ban tyres over 10 years old.
What’s great about Liverpool and Merseyside is that no matter who you support, whether Red or Blue, is that people stand together on the bigger, more important things than what happens out on the pitch.Yet another example of that is the special event taking place at the O2 Academy in the city centre on Friday night.Called Talk Tonight, it features some of the best bands and acts in Liverpool, and it’s been inspired by the death of big Liverpool supporters, Michael Woodburn and Neil ‘Yozza’ Hughes.84 men take their own lives per week in the UK, and the event aims to help break the stigma of mental health and suicide – as well as raising money for two very worthy local causes.For the podcast, Paul Wheelock speaks to one of the organisers of the event, Chris Tyrrell, and then Scouse footballer Kevin Ellison.The 39-year-old Morecambe forward opened up about his own mental health issues in the summer.Back then we interviewed Kevin for a special podcast to talk about why he went public on his eight-year battle with depression.And we picked up the phone to the boyhood Liverpool fan again this week to talk about the reaction to his initial posts on Twitter – and the fact that more and more footballers are coming out and talking about mental health.You can buy Talk Tonight tickets from www.seetickets.com. They cost £22.50 and all proceeds will go to Paul’s Place and James’ Place.And if you need mental health and suicide support, the NHS has compiled a list of free helplines, the details for which can be obtained at www.nhs.uk/conditions/suicide/ For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

James: This is the story of the Gamekeeper's Family. Once upon a time, not so very long ago, there lived a couple in a wood. Andrew: The husband was a gamekeeper at the local estate. James: His wife was a housekeeper for the same. Andrew: They had lived in their little cottage very happily for the last fifteen years. James: But ... they longed for a child. Andrew: They had tried many things, been to doctors, healers and priests but without success. James: They had traveled the world looking for witches that might be able to cure their barrenness, but all in vain. Andrew: After many years of searching and hoping, they had resigned themselves to their situation and were content to mind the children of their neighbours and fellow workers. James: But one day, as the gamekeeper walked home through the forest paths, he came across a basket. Andrew: Attached to the basket was a note, read, “please take care of me” and inside wrapped up in blankets there was a tiny baby. James: He rushed home to his wife to show her what he had found. Andrew: They spent a long time discussing whether or not it would be right for them to keep this child. Who had left it there and why? James: Eventually, they chose to consult the local vicar who assured them that with all of their experience helping to look after their neighbours' children and given that almost everyone else in the village already had children of their own, the right thing would be for them to keep it and raise it as their own. Andrew: This they did, with great success and a fine healthy young man was the product of their labours. James: They had named him Benjamin, after the wife's father and as Benjamin grew in stature, he also grew in the love given to him, not only by them but by others in the village. For everyone enjoyed his outgoing and pleasant company. Andrew: As the years passed the time came for him to take over his father's job as gamekeeper on the estate and this he did. James: He had spent his childhood growing up amongst the forest and knew how to look for the different types of woodland animal and also how to protect them. How best to defend them from poachers and so forth. And so, continuing the charm of his childhood as he started his job, he proved to be more than adept as a gamekeeper and was rapidly promoted until he became head gamekeeper. Andrew: After many years, his parents passed away in a peaceful old age and he moved back to the cottage where he had grown up. James: By this time, he was himself, married, although as with his parents, he and his wife Amelia, had not been able to have a child. Andrew: One day, while out walking in the estate, completing his rounds and jobs, Benjamin too came across a basket with a note attached. James: The note, as the note on his own basket, said “please take care of me” and inside was a tiny child that he took home to Amelia and which as with his parents before him, they decided it was right to adopt. Andrew: Now, the listener will not know that Benjamin's parents had not chosen to share with him the story of how they had found him in a cradle in the woods. And so, it did not occur to him that there was anything unusual about this coincidence. James: As Benjamin and Amelia's daughter, Susanna, grew, she also, much like Benjamin was much loved around the village and when it came time for her to start working, she took over Amelia's job as housekeeper, as Amelia had taken over the job of Benjamin's mother before her. Andrew: And so it was that this story played out from generation to generation. Susanna had a son named Robert. Robert had a daughter named Barbara. Barbara had a son named Tom. James: And always, down through the generations, the same jobs were passed from father to daughter, from daughter to son, across the generations, gamekeeper and housekeeper both. Andrew: But why? Why was it that these popular, lovable, outgoing people were never able to have children of their own? And where was it that the mysterious foundlings were coming from? James: For that, dear listener, we must go back to the first gamekeeper and housekeeper, Benjamin's parents, and see their story from another angle. Andrew: Once upon a time there was a magical forest where there dwelled many sprites and pixies. James: Chief among them was a fairy who had lived for many hundreds of years, spending her time looking after the non-magical creatures of the kingdom. Andrew: Now, many fairies have an ambiguous and complicated relationship with human beings, seeing them somewhat like a tree sees a fungus growing on its bark. James: At times, the fairy would help humans through stumbling difficulties in their lives, but at other times she would punish them for what she saw as a transgression against the magical forest. Andrew: She was, to our eyes, capricious in her whims. Sometimes kind, sometimes cruel. James: One day, the gamekeeper, while walking home through the forest spied a rogue pheasant which had somehow escaped from, as he thought, the forest that he managed. Andrew: What appeared to be a pheasant to his eyes, was in fact the fairy, wandering through her domain. James: He carefully set a trap and as she did not consider him a threat, she walked right into it and was quickly bound and trussed with him carrying her home towards the pot. Andrew: He was not by nature a sentimental person, having spent his life working with the wild animals of the forest. But, there was something about the way this bird fixed him with a seemingly knowing stare as he set it down on the kitchen table that made him think twice about instantly wringing its neck. James: In the moment that he hesitated, the fairy, as fairies sometimes do, cast a spell, not only for her to be released and free but also so that he would forget having ever encountered her. And, as fairies are also sometimes wont to do, she cursed him at that moment, annoyed and upset that she had ignominiously been bound and walked over the forest. She cursed him that he should never have a child to love him. Andrew: Sometime later, the fairy observed his wife walking through the forest and weeping and lamenting her lack of children. James: Unaware that this woman was in any way related to the gamekeeper she had previously cursed, she cast a beneficial spell over the housekeeper that she would have a child that she so clearly desired. Andrew: The child of course, was easy to provide for fairy folk often have children which they need to be raised in the human world. James: And no one ever questioned from Benjamin through Susanna, through Robert, through Barbara, through Tom, why, when their feet touched the ground in the forest, flowers grew in their footsteps. Andrew: And from generation to generation, they continued to live, in the small charming cottage in the middle of the wonderful magical wood.
