Thrive

CWRC’s Health and Justice Support for women involved with the Criminal Justice System

Our Thrive programme supports the wellbeing and mental health of women who have had any contact with the Criminal Justice System. We understand that many women have been impacted by trauma and living in poverty. Our trauma-informed one-to-one and group support aims to create positive paths away from offending.  

What we offer 

Our focus is on holistic support and connecting you to the right resources.  We provide a range of services focused on your needs: 

  • Safe Space: join us at our welcoming drop-in Centre. 
  • Support: a named CWRC Worker for personalised support and planning. 
  • Wellbeing and Mental Health: activities to help break isolation, increase emotional support networks, and navigate NHS services.  
  • Drug and Alcohol: assistance in finding help for substance misuse. 
  • Meaningful activities: including yoga, sewing, and art. 
  • Practical help: support with housing, literacy, employment, benefits and grants.  
  • Freedom Programme: a weekly programme for women who have been subjected to domestic abuse. 

Get in touch via our referrals page or email us referrals@cwrc.org.uk and we look forward to hearing from you.  

This service is part of a pilot project aimed at transforming how women’s health is supported within the justice system via contact with Women’s Centres. Funded by NHS England.  

The CWRC team are incredibly warm, kind, welcoming, inclusive and supportive. The range of services offered and the degree of personalised care is immediately apparent.
