At PSS Women’s Turnaround we use a trauma informed approach to help women find a positive path in life following their offending. Each woman referred for support will be allocated a project worker who will assess them and together they will work out a plan of support throughout their journey.

Support is offered as groups, one to ones and counselling and covers a range of needs including emotional wellbeing, lifestyles and associates, family and significant others, finance, benefit and debt, dependency and recovery, accommodation, education, training, and employment, and social inclusion (custody only). We also have a solicitor who attends once a month to provide legal advice and as part of our wider organisation we also have access to other services provided by PSS including perinatal support.

Whilst support in our centres is only available to those who have been sentenced, we can provide some support to unsentenced women in HMP Styal.
