About this organisation
Established in 1987, WISH is the only national, user-led mental health charity in the UK working with women in prison, hospital and the community. 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. Empowered by their own lived experience, they help women connect and open up – often for the first time. They stand together with them for the long term – through the ups, downs, relapses and revivals– offering them trust, relational security and guidance. Helping them build their own positive pathways under their own agency and control.
