Women's network forum: Supporting women with mental health needs in the pandemic

Online booking for this event has closed. Please email events@clinks.org for a place.

This meeting will focus on supporting women with mental health needs in the pandemic. We will hear from Suzy Dymond-White, Governor of HMP Eastwood Park about the increased prevalence and severity of mental health needs among women in prison and from Karen Burns, Programme Manager, Communities & Wellbeing at Lancashire Women about the specialist mental health support services offered to women in contact with the criminal justice system across Lancashire.

Our quarterly women’s network forums, hosted in partnership with Agenda, provide support, information and networking opportunities to those working with women in contact with the criminal justice system. The forums provide updates on policy, member activity and host speakers on relevant topics. The forums provides an opportunity to gather feedback and key issues raised by organisations working with women in contact with the criminal justice system, enabling Clinks to reflect these to national government at Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group (RR3) meetings.

Please note that the women’s network forums are only open to voluntary organisations who already provide a specific service or project for women in contact with the criminal justice system. 

To attend this forum you must meet all of the following criteria: 

1. Work for a voluntary organisation currently delivering fully established services designed for women

2. Have a role in a women-specific organisation or a project designed specifically for women.

3. Be a current Clinks member.  If not, please click here to join.
