The Jewish Association For Mentally Ill was established in 1989, by a group of parents, relatives and friends of those suffering from mental illness - those who know perhaps better than anyone else how much damage and anguish these terrible conditions inflict. The staff and volunteers are committed to providing help, of a high quality, embodying the culture and values of Jewish society, to sufferers, their careers and families wherever they can. The Southend branch, which call themselves ''Back To Life'' was formed by Julie and Arnold Baum, to help the purchase of equipment and running costs for 'JAMI House'. A large contribution was given to JAMI to help with their new residential home in Golders Green, London, named after their late treasurer, Jack Gardner.
