Jewish Care

The Kadimah Centre offers a relaxed, welcoming and culturally sensitive environment where members who have mental health needs can take part in activities that will develop their skills and confidence.

Jewish Care mental health services are considered to be at the leading edge of mental health development and have been created to ensure that users and relatives receive full practical support and advice in coping with mental health issues.

The centre is open Monday-Thursday for men and women aged 18+  who have mental health needs.  People with high levels of observance may attend separate groups for men and women if requested. Catering is Kedassia supervised.

How we work
We aim to offer support through a structured programme that enables people to move forward and we offer practical support so clients can move on to use other services as part of a rehabilitation programme. 

Everyone has a support worker who they meet with regularly to discuss their needs and ongoing progress.

Services and activities on offer include: 

• talking groups, personal growth, men's and cultural groups
• movement, Hebrew song
• aromatherapy, art therapy, creative writing
• cookery
• employment support for voluntary and paid work (ATID)
• mental health education and training
• mental health social work support and advice

The Kadimah Centre is working hard to fight the stigma of mental health issues and believes in giving members a voice. Kadimah members own their service and there is a user group which ensures that members take an active part in deciding how the service will develop.

Referrals can be made by yourself, carers, GP's, psychiatrists, social workers etc. If you or someone you care about needs help, please contact Jewish Care Direct on: 020 8922 2222.
