Dr Graham Durcan

The vast majority of people who come into custodial settings have vulnerabilities and often complex needs, with nine out of ten prisoners having at least one mental health or substance misuse problem. This report compares current levels of need with prison mental health provision.

Prison mental health services in England, 2023 is based on a survey of three-quarters of prisons and Young Offender Institutions in England, commissioned by NHS England. It finds that more than 7,700 people in the prisons surveyed were receiving support from a mental health service while in custody. This equates to one prisoner in seven getting support from mental health services, which rises to more than one in four among women in custody.

The survey also collected data on types of intervention available, staffing, skills, gaps in need and processes in relation to mental health service provision in prisons. The report finds that some form of talking therapy was the most commonly offered intervention nationally and across four regions. It also finds that most prisons do not employ someone with mental health expertise to carry out screening at reception. This means many people's needs may be missed when they arrive in prison.

Prison mental health services in England, 2023 calls for prison mental health services to be more consistently staffed, with a range of professionals with expertise across different disciplines. The report recommends that the Government goes ahead with its plan to amend the Mental Health Act so that no one waits more than 28 days for a transfer to hospital. It also calls for more 'through the gates' mental health support when people leave prison. This should include support with housing, employment and benefits.

We're dedicated to eradicating mental health inequalities. But we can't do it without your support.

A message from Martin
Be under no illusions. Mental health problems can cause severe debt, and severe debt can cause mental health problems. Debt isn't just a financial problem, it causes relationships to break up, people to lose their homes and families to break down. No matter who you are, it can be hell. For many living with mental health issues, debt is a common problem. My usual line is we should focus on being responsible borrowers, as you can't expect lenders to be responsible - their job is flogging debt. A few years ago, I had my eyes opened. A man came up to thank me for the MoneySavingExpert.com website. I asked him if he'd saved much money, and his answer surprised me: "I don't use it for myself. I'm a mental health case worker, and almost every one of my clients has debt issues. It's tough for them to control many areas of their life. I use your site to help them sort through their problems." This is the crux. How do we help those who are unable to be responsible for themselves? It is not always easy to be responsible for yourself - and the easy credit years created a potential disaster scenario. Since then I've heard that story echoed time and time again. I pitched the idea to TV outlets several times, only to be told it doesn't resonate with enough people. That's wrong. Many people have either had issues or have a family member who has. Yet it's not right to simply stop anyone with mental health issues getting credit. Often issues are temporary, and, even if not, debt isn't bad, bad debt is bad. A rational decision to borrow cheaply is fine. Mortgages, student loans and more are an integral part of the modern financial world. While describing the problem is easy, the solutions aren't. I wish I could promise this guide will solve them. It won't, though it should help make things easier to understand and deal with.

They always listen, even if you aren't able to talk about self-injury."

That anyone who uses self-injury knows they are not alone;

that everyone understands that self-injury is a complex and important issue we should all care about;

and that together we tackle both the causes and stigma of self-injury.

I couldn't have got through without the helpline, it means the world to me
to have someone listen and believe me....

Our mission

We focus on improving support and knowledge around self-injury

offering safe spaces where we listen and never judge, and demonstrating the impact of this support;

creating experience-led tools and information on topics clients tell us they want to know about;

promoting better models of support through training health and social care workers of the future;

working with researchers and policy makers to make sure what people tell us they want is put into practice

What We Do To Make This Happen

We run a UK-wide multi-channel support service for women & girls affected by self-injury, trauma and abuse

We develop up-to-date, reliable and free information and self help tools for anyone to use

We run training and consultancy to share knowledge and expertise with a wide range of staff, especially in health, social care and education

We partner with other organisations and researchers to find out directly from those with lived experience of self-injury find helpful in their lives

"It enabled me to move on at a time

when nothing else felt safe enough to allow me to do this."

Our values
These are the values that ensure we never lose sight of what we are trying to achieve: Providing non-judgemental support
Self-injury is often experienced alongside feelings of shame or self-blame. Responses from others who do not understand self-injury can reinforce these feelings. We aim to offer and model acceptance which increases chance of people feeling more accepting towards themselves.

Offering a positive experience of reaching out for help

Some people contacting us may not have reached out for help in relation to self-injury before or may have had negative responses when looking for support. The issue is highly stigmatised and a person's first experience of disclosing is very significant in how they subsequently seek support.

Respecting an individual's relationship with self-injury and to avoid being prescriptive in our support
We recognise the role and function that self-injury can play in people's lives at different times. We aim to foster feelings of autonomy and empowerment in the people we support. Our aim is to give people access to clear and objective information designed to help them make the right choices for them at different times in their lives. We do not tell people to stop using self-injury, as this is not our choice to make.

Our mental health and wellbeing services

We can all experience difficulties with our mental health at times. What this feels like, and how we cope, varies from person to person and often from moment to moment.

We may feel tired or down, struggle to enjoy things we used to love, or end up isolating ourselves from friends and family. Maybe we're stressed, finding it hard to sleep, or just can't seem to relax.

For some people, the reason for struggles goes back to childhood, upbringing, or a traumatic event. For others, it may be that life's got really difficult-because of work life, strained relationships, or changing identity.

Whatever the reason, we're WithYou.
