Good reminder that Jami are there for me and our community in the future. Made me feel that I was not alone with the anxieties of Covid.
Community Change Through Peer Support
Conversations East
Peer Support happens when people make a connection that feels equal, mutual, and safe. It happens when ordinary people share a sense of “you get me”. Being a Peer means listening without judgement and empowering each other to get the most from life. Join us to find out more about this way of giving and receiving mental health support and Jami’s plans to bring Peer Support into our lives and our communities.
This Jami event is inspired by the French café–debat. Thierry Bonfanti the French psychologist and thinker created the café–debat (coffeehouse debate) in the 90’s. This event was started by people living and working in East London but everyone is welcome. The group decides what to discuss, facilitated by members of the Jami team. Mondays, 6.30 – 8.30pm 7

Young Adult Webinar #1: Confidence & Self Esteem
Confidence is a trait many of us aspire to. A lack of it may hold us back from setting our boundaries or advocating for ourselves. So, what do we need for our confidence to shift us from surviving to thriving? Are there certain situations where we feel more confident? Or does it depend on the group of people we are with? And what tools can we develop to start building our confidence? 22 Nov 2021 Monday 5:15 pm – 6:15 pm Online via Zoom

Menopause and Mental Health
Known to previous generations as ‘the change’ the menopause has hit the headlines. Women are having a radical new conversation about how this biological transition is impacting on their mental health. Menopause can trigger episodes of debilitating anxiety as well as the type of symptoms we associate with depression. Women can also suffer from lowered self–esteem and self–efficacy as those around often do not understand the full impact, leaving them isolated. If you or someone you are supporting is going through mental health challenges around the menopause, please join the conversation. 8 Dec 2021
