Camp Simcha’s pilot Mental Health project launched in February 2020 after nine months of consultation and advice from experts in the field. The project’s pilot will support a number of families who have a child with a serious mental health condition, one which has led to an extended period of school absence or hospitalisation. Camp Simcha will be working with its partners in Mental Healthcare pastoral support services in the Jewish community, so there will be no duplication of services.
Babies who are born very prematurely or with a serious illness and need extra care.
