WISH- Standing Together for women’s mental health

WISH is the only national, user-led women’s mental health charity in the UK. They develop pioneering gender-specific and trauma-informed support services for underserved women, share evidence of what works to improve services and outcomes for all women, and campaign together for social justice.

Our services:

  • Advocacy: campaigning, research and representation, advice

  • Counselling: one to one trauma informed gender specific sessions

  • Community Link: practical and emotional support to women in Greater London as they move from prison or secure hospital into the community

  • Coaching: Training, volunteering and employment support

Their wraparound Community Link services equip women with the skills, security and self-esteem necessary for successful resettlement, through:

  • Pathways tailored to each individual’s needs and aims, to ensure long-term and meaningful change

  • Support to engage with services and attend court dates

  • Links into statutory and voluntary services

  • Support with housing and accommodation issues

  • Financial assistance and benefits guidance

  • One-to-one support whenever and as often as each woman needs

  • Social contact and peer support.
