World Mental Health Day is tomorrow (10 October), and this year’s theme, Lived Experience Heard: Real Voices, Real Change, is a reminder of just how powerful it can be to be truly understood.

When David was going through a particularly difficult period of anxiety, depression and isolation, he found support through Jami's peer support service. Matched with a peer support worker who had experienced mental health challenges herself, David found someone he could talk to openly and honestly, without fear of judgment.

Reflecting on that support, David describes it as "like being with a friend – only better". Through those conversations, he felt heard, accepted and less alone, and began to rebuild his confidence, resilience and connection to Jewish life and community.

Today, David says peer support helped him become kinder to himself and better able to take care of his wellbeing. As he puts it, "I really owe so much to Rachel for helping me get through that period."

As we mark World Mental Health Day tomorrow, we're celebrating the difference that lived experience can make, and the power of connection, understanding and hope.
If you or someone you know is struggling, we're here to help.

Visit Jami's website, call 020 8458 2223 or text Jami to 85258.

Shabbat Shalom. 🧡

Jewish Care’s Jami mental health service was proud to be part of the North Central London Su***de Prevention Conference at Islington Assembly Hall, bringing together partners from across Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Camden and Islington to explore how communities and statutory services can work together to save lives.

Our Senior Mental Health Education and Su***de Prevention Manager, Philippa Carr, joined a panel discussion on intersectionality and how factors such as faith, culture and sexuality can shape people’s experiences and access to support.

Drawing on Jami’s Jewish Community Su***de Prevention Programme, Philippa highlighted the importance of creating safe, culturally sensitive spaces where people can learn about and discuss su***de prevention.
“Those of us working in this sector often quote the public health mantra that ‘su***de is everyone’s business’. This famous quote speaks to the fact that saving a life starts with a conversation that often happens in the community rather than the consulting room. Our programme ensures we are all equipped to hold those spaces.”

Thank you to Joe Davies and the North Central London Su***de Prevention Programme team for inviting us to contribute to this important discussion.

🏆 We’re delighted that Jami’s Head Room Café Community Programme, supported by The Maurice Wohl Charitable Foundation, has won the Promoting Inclusion Award at the London Dangoor Awards.

Head Room provides a welcoming space where people can connect, access support, build confidence and reduce isolation through meaningful activities and community. This award recognises the vital role the programme plays in creating a kinder, more inclusive community.

Too many people struggle alone because mental illness and distress can still carry stigma – and because formal support can feel daunting, clinical or out of reach. Head Room exists to reduce isolation and remove barriers to early help by placing support in an everyday, friendly café setting, helping to promote conversations about mental health as part of community life.

This award recognises the programme’s role in creating a welcoming and inclusive space where people can find connection, support and friendship. By offering support in an informal café setting, Head Room helps reduce isolation, break down stigma around mental health, and make it easier for people to seek help when they need it.

Congratulations to our amazing staff, volunteers and Head Room members on this well-deserved achievement. 🧡

This National Su***de Prevention Month, we're asking a simple question: What if more people felt confident having a conversation that could save a life? 🗣️

Through education, lived experience and community engagement, Jami's community su***de prevention programme is helping people develop the confidence and skills to recognise concerns, offer support and signpost pathways to help.

Over the past three years, we've worked alongside people with lived experience, those bereaved by su***de, carers, rabbis, pastoral leaders and community members to create a programme that responds to real needs and breaks down the stigma that can prevent people seeking help.

Together, we're helping create communities where difficult conversations feel possible, support is easier to access, and no one has to face thoughts of su***de alone.

Let’s keep talking, listening and looking out for one another. Because every conversation matters, every life matters, and su***de prevention is everyone's responsibility.
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available.
Visit jamiuk.org/get-support or call 020 8458 2223.
For 24/7 support, call Samaritans on 116 123.
