Jami Ambassador

About JAMI

JAMI is a recovery‑orientated mental health charity serving the Jewish community. The organisation is committed to working alongside statutory services to provide a high quality community‑based service which enables people to maximise their potential and take control of their own recovery. It was established in 1989 by parents, relatives and friends of people who suffer from mental ill‑health. In 2013 Jami became responsible for the running of the community’s non‑residential mental health provision, creating a single mental health service for the Jewish community in London and the South East.

Working alongside statutory services, Jami is committed to supporting people to fulfil their potential, maximise their self‑esteem and progress along their own unique pathway towards recovery. Jami’s focus is on recovery from mental illness. We support people at any point on their recovery journey, helping them to develop the skills to live life to the full.
