Together Women Mentoring and Advocacy Service – Preston

The Mentoring and Advocacy Service is a provider within the NHS/HMPPS Women’s Offender Personality Disorder pathway. It employs a gender-specific approach to support woman offenders with personality difficulties through a pathway of care and management. The service is vibrant, dynamic and responsive, operating throughout the North of England and North Wales in custody and the community.

The aim of the Mentoring and Advocacy Service is to support women to reduce repeat offending, improve mental and emotional wellbeing and live a pro-social life. Although the service works in partnership with a range of external agencies, it provides women with long-term, independent and confidential tailored support.
