Women in Prison – sum requested £22,240

Funding to reduce the WSC’s current Counselling waiting list and re-open the service to new referrals

The demand for counselling from the Women’s Support Centre (WSC) has always been high. To enable the service to respond to the increasing risk facing our clients due to Covid-19, and the demand on mental health services during and as a result of lockdowns, WSC need to increase their staff base accordingly and reach those already waiting, before the next wave.

WSC aim to reduce the current Counselling waiting list and re-open the service to new referrals by employing qualified, self-employed counsellors to deliver a fixed number of sessions. Due to high levels of trauma and complex needs faced by the women accessing this service and furthered by the impact of Covid-19, it is not always suitable for, or within the competencies of trainee counsellors to deliver on this.

The existing waiting time to receive counselling exceeds one year and funding this project would enable the service to timely and significantly reduce those waiting in need.
