Thank you @JLC_uk for organising meetings for (tag) Jami to meet MPs. Philippa from Jami shared the challenges of those adults and young people in the Jewish community being supported by Jami because their mental illness and distress makes everyday life a struggle.
As part of #MentalHealthAwareness Week we were pleased to bring @JamiPeople to Parliament to meet with Shadow Communities Minster @LizTwistMP, @NickFletcherMP and Ian Levy MP. We discussed a range of important topics including men’s health, suicide prevention and community centred mental health support.
Community engagement is key to #SuicidePrevention. At #NSPAConf we heard from @JamiPeople and @BarnetCouncil public health about their use of outreach and community consultation to engage the Jewish community. Find their presentation slides here: https://t.co/x4XxPWy1fg
🗣️ "We know how important it is to talk about mental health and make sure people feel connected."

The Board of Deputies, @CST_UK, @JamiPeople, @JLC_uk and @Pajesthinktank have published top tips on managing anxiety and maintaining psychological wellbeing at the current time. It is absolutely OK, not to feel OK.
We thank @YvetteCooperMP and @DavidLammy for coming to @JamiPeople’s Head Room Cafe in Golders Green this morning and speaking to @BoDPres, @JLC_uk Chair Keith Black and both local and other communal representatives about the current challenges for British Jews.
We are deeply shocked by the outbreak of war in Israel, and appalled by the capture and murder of innocent civilians.
Our prayers are for a swift de-escalation of violence, and our thoughts are with everybody in Israel at this dreadful time.
Last week we shared an open letter from over 50 psychiatrists and other doctors, urging the Jewish community to get behind Jami during a period of unprecedented need. Here’s the letter in full.

✨// Where do you put yourself in your hierarchy of needs?
Everyone’s boundaries will be individualised and will be needed in different areas of their lives.
Remember you are entitled to your boundaries; it’s not being selfish or fussy.
