This Pesach, as we remember the journey from hardship to freedom of the Jewish people, let us also remember the journey of recovery for those of us living with mental illness and distress – including people like Jonathan.

Jonathan has been receiving support from Jami since the 1990s when he experienced his first episode of mental illness. Attending Jami’s hub in Finchley, which provides a safe space and social connection for people living with long-term mental health problems, and joining the group’s activities outside of the hub, have helped to bring Jonathan out of his shell and given him the confidence to carry out daily tasks he would have once found impossible. Today, Jonathan is more independent, feels accepted and listened to, and is no longer isolated.

Jami has been here for Jonathan at every step of his mental health journey. And, with your support, we will continue to be a shoulder to lean on – not just for Jonathan, but for everyone else in the community living with mental illness and distress.

To help Jonathan and others like him, please donate.
