Our purpose
We want to create a supportive, resilient prison culture that recognizes the importance of mental health and empowers people to live fulfilling lives.
Our Vision
A prison environment where no person feels alone with their mental health.
A statement about our vision
Our vision is to create an environment in which Mental Well Being is the norm in all prisons in the UK. As a society, we recognise that mental health is an integral part of overall well-being. We understand that mental illness, like physical illness, is a medically treatable condition, it can develop in anyone, it is preventable, and those who experience mental illness can return to good health.
As a result, there should be no room for stigma.
Our Mission
Our mission is to help people achieve good physical and mental wellbeing and live life to the full.
A statement about our mission:
Every person who experiences the criminal justice system and whose mental health ends up in crisis is a person who has been failed. We know that the earlier people can be educated on mental ill health, the more likely it is that they can avoid these crises. If they need a reassuring conversation, mental health education, or simply information to understand that they are not alone in how they feel, we will ensure they get support as soon as possible that addresses their need.
Our Values
