Through education, we help people better understand themselves and improve their wellbeing.

At the heart of Jamma Wellbeing is an educational framework that helps people understand their brain and build practical skills for everyday life.

OUR WORK

We work across a range of settings, adapting our approach to different people, environments and needs. Each area below shows how that work comes to life in different contexts, with the same commitment to understanding, confidence and positive change.

Brain Smart®

Brain Smart® is designed to be simple, practical and easy to use in everyday life. It avoids clinical language, using accessible education to explain how the brain works and why it can sometimes feel like it is not ‘on your side’. It introduces practical skills that help people better understand their responses and gain greater control.

NEWS

Updates from across Jamma Wellbeing including new work, partnerships,
training opportunities and organisational news.

Why peer support works: the power of being understood by someone who has been there

Professional mental health support is valuable. But there is something that peer support offers that clinical services often cannot.

Emotions are not the enemy: why trying to get rid of difficult feelings does not work

We spend a lot of energy trying to avoid, suppress or eliminate difficult emotions. Anger, fear, sadness, anxiety.

Why talking about mental health at work is still so hard, and what actually helps

Most organisations now have a mental health policy. Many have trained mental health first aiders. And yet most employees still would not tell their manager if they were struggling. What is going wrong?

Why self-compassion is not self-indulgence: what the research actually says

Most of us are far harder on ourselves than we would ever be on a friend. We think this makes us more disciplined. The evidence suggests it does the opposite.

What is neuroplasticity and why does it matter for your wellbeing?

Your brain is not fixed. It changes throughout your life, shaped by your experiences, thoughts and habits. Understanding this is one of the most hopeful things you can learn.
