Support After Suicide Loss

Grief after suicide is complex, painful, and often isolating. Menucha V’Simcha is a dedicated network for adults (18+) in the Manchester Jewish community who have lost a loved one to suicide.


As a project of JAMH under clinical oversight, it offers safe spaces for understanding, healing, and hope.

Frequently asked questions

JAMH were there when we needed them the most. I'm not sure the outcome would have been the same without their help. Their speed and efficiency of getting the help that was needed was truly incredible. We will be forever grateful for having this amazing charity within our community.
