For this year’s Chanukah appeal, Talia shares how Jami has been a lifeline for her family during difficult times. Her youngest daughter, Amy, began showing signs of anxiety at just 10 years old, struggling with sleep, friendships, and frequent tearfulness. Having witnessed similar issues with her older daughter, Ella, Talia sought early support for Amy. Amy started seeing Ciara, a Jami mental health practitioner, when she started secondary school. Ciara has helped Amy to manage her anxiety by breaking down her problems and teaching her coping strategies to prevent panic attacks. She has also given her the space to talk about her feelings.
Jami has not only supported Amy but also Talia, offering her emotional support during a challenging period. A Jami carer peer support worker provided reassurance and guidance, helping Talia to feel stronger and better able to care for her daughters.
To help Talia, Amy and many other families, please donate.
