Welcome

About Jami

Jami is the Jewish community’s mental health service and for over 30 years has been providing practical and emotional support for the mental health needs of the community, delivering services that enable independence and build resilience, through community hubs and outreach, education and training and bespoke recovery support plans.

Statistics show that in any one year 25% of us experience a diagnosable mental health problem. Jami supports anyone affected by a mental health problem, those with mental illness and their family and friends, enabling people to lead meaningful lives despite severe mental ill health.

Jami’s transformative work in the wider community is building awareness and increasing understanding of mental health and aims to put an end to stigma and discrimination.

About Head Room Education

The Head Room team reaches out to provide learning and engagement for adults and young people across the community.

We are passionate educators and facilitators, providing conversations and courses about mental health. We are able to work with organisations and individuals, so take a look at what we have to offer and be inspired.

For you, your family and your community

Welcome to our education programme for 2020/21. Over the past few months we have all needed to adapt and respond to the huge changes we’ve experienced.

Whatever your experience of ‘lockdown’ was like, we hope that we can guide you through the next steps with our available range of online learning and groups. If you are a carer of young people you might want to join our Back to Routine course (P.25) or if you are looking to change your relationship with stress have a look at our evening course The Mind and Body Approach (P.21).

We are pleased to provide you with updates on Jami’s online Head Room Cafe Wellbeing menu, full of engaging activities providing support and creativity for everyone. Other exciting opportunities at Jami include the new Compeer Volunteering programme, find out more here.

We hope there will be opportunities for face-to-face education in the not so distant future, so keep an eye out as our new social engagement patterns develop. Enjoy reading all that Head Room Education has to offer and we welcome you to learn with us over the coming year. If you would like to commission us to run any courses for your community or organisation, do drop us a line.
