'Modern approach' to mental health is hailed

Opening the £2.2 million Martin B Cohen Centre for Wellbeing in Edgware, Jewish Care president Lord Levy said it would provide the “modern approach that is needed in the community” to mental health issues.

The two-storey centre will offer a range of services which will also be available to Jews with mental health problems who are clients of other charities. Features include a drop-in cafe, IT suite, counselling and training rooms and a kitchen where users will receive cookery instruction.
