| background information on this organisation |
JAMI is a recovery orientated mental health charity founded in 1989 by parents, relatives and friends of people with mental ill health. JAMI offers a range of culturally specific services for Jewish people who have a severe and enduring mental illness. 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. JAMI House day centre offers a range of opportunites that support people to maintain as independent a life as possible. Attendance at JAMI House can give meaning and purpose to the day. It offers the safety and security that so many people require. However with the support and encouragement from staff and trained volunteers people are able to rediscover lost independence and social skills. Social workers are available to offer advice, advocacy and support to all service users or carers following telephone or internet contact. JAMI also provides an outreach service visiting people in mental health units. This service is carried out by a group of dedicated volunteers who provide a much needed link between those in hospital and the Jewish community. This work is especially important around the Jewish Festival celebrations when people may feel removed from their own communities. Volunteers also visit service users in group homes and residential care accommodation. In addition, we run a charity shop which is partially staffed by service users, a carers support group, and a befriending project which matches volunteers with isolated service users. |
