The Head Room community cafe in Golders Green provides a supportive environment with trained volunteer befrienders, aimed at reducing loneliness through one-to-one chats over a cuppa.
Caryn Cobersy, one of the befrienders, highlights the initiative's purpose: "I am here for anyone at the cafe to have a chat and to make someone smile and feel a bit better, especially if they're feeling lonely or isolated."
As part of its focus on mental health, Jewish Care is not only addressing loneliness but also offering mental health first aid training to help colleagues support each other.
Jewish Care's guide, 'Coping After Suicide', offers a compassionate framework for communities responding to suicidal incidents, showcasing its comprehensive approach to mental health support.
