Profile


JAMI is the only Jewish charity concerned exclusively with mental illness, with the impact it has on the lives of those who suffer from it, including their families and all who care for them.

JAMI was founded in 1989 by parents, relatives and friends of people with mental ill health. It offers a range of culturally specific services for Jewish people who have a severe and enduring mental illness.

The charity is recovery orientated and 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.
