Hector’s House
Our son and brother Hector Stringer took his own life at the age of 18. Hector’s House was set up in his memory, with the aim to prevent suicide and mental health stigma through education, awareness and support.
This is your safe space on the internet. Come in and find an activity that will help you to rest, restore and get through this moment.
Need someone to talk to? Text HECTOR to 85258. A wonderful volunteer will be there for you. It’s free, open 24/7 and completely confidential.
Need someone to talk to? We have lots of helpful mental health advice for you, along with helplines you can use. You are not alone.
Would you like to invite Hector’s House to speak to your school, club or place of work about mental health and suicide prevention? From Eat Move Love workshops to safeTALK CPD-accredited suicide alertness training – the team would be happy to help.
HecTalk is a group open to all men to come together and talk. A place free of judgement, and free of any pressure to “fix”. Simply turn up, listen up, and if you want to, open up. We meet every second Wednesday in Hemel Hempstead and we’d love to see you there.
Hector’s Gentle-Man’s Club is a safe space for men in the area to come together once a month to try new activities, meet new people and have a safe space to be themselves. Take a look at our next meet-up below.
‘Ask for Hector’ is a new initiative for local pubs and businesses to promote open and direct conversations about mental health, loneliness and suicide in our community. Read more about this campaign below.
