Youth & Students
We provide sessions for young people via schools, youth groups and youth movements and sessions for students via university and JSoCs. There’s something for everyone aged 11–18+, exploring everything from key mental health concepts and messages to ways to support friends and manage stress.
For students, university can be a stressful time. The transition from adolescence through to becoming young independent adults living away from home can create a range of specific issues affecting students’ mental health. Our sessions for students offer tools to support you live as a student and are available through your local JSoc or email please education@jamiuk.org to find out more.

Jami Education’s Bnei Mitzvah session on Mental Health Awareness would be a great complement to your synagogue’s Bnei Mitzvah programme. The content and style of our one-off session is tailored specifically for this age group, introducing them to key mental health concepts and messages in an accessible, interactive and relevant way. The session also explores how our mental health changes, how to support ourselves and others, and what Judaism teaches us about our mental health.
For youth aged 11–13
Young people are increasingly at the forefront of mental health discussions. They want to be part of the conversation, helping to combat stigma and provide appropriate support to their friends. They have the power to create change and inspire others to look after their mental health. In this session we will bust myths around mental health, introduce self-care and explore how young people can support their friends.
For youth aged 11+
A little stress can be motivating, but too much stress can be overwhelming, particularly during exam season. While we can’t eradicate stress completely, we can use stress management techniques to make the hurdle of exams easier. In this session, we explore our response to stress, the causes and effects of stress and, most importantly, how we can use self-care as a tool to look after our wellbeing and boost motivation.
For youth aged 15+
University is a big place, filled with big responsibilities and life changes. Join us to consider our mental health at university. What parts of university life might impact our mental health? How can we boost our mental health by taking advantage of the new and exciting elements of university life? Where can we find support for ourselves? And how can we balance looking after ourselves and our friends? We look forward to much thought-provoking conversation around university life, our mental health, self-care and support.

For students
Ever heard of ‘fake it till you make it’? Ever doubted your ability? Ever doubted your own achievements or assumed it was pure luck? Imposter Syndrome involves feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that persist despite our capability, knowledge, or performance. Join us to explore what imposter syndrome is, how we may experience it as students and how we can manage it better.
For students
Do you feel burnt out at university? What might be causing this? Is it the expectations and demand of your course? Is it the overwhelming feeling of having to interact with others constantly? Do you feel emotionally worn out and find yourself looking for quick fixes that do not help? Let’s explore ways we can look after ourselves so that we don’t become burnt out.
