Our services

WISH supports women with long-term mental health and other complex needs that may put them in contact with the mental health or criminal justice systems.

We currently provide free community-based counselling and support services in Greater London and work with women detained in 4 secure hospitals in the North of England, providing independent mental health advocacy.
