Life can be stressful, we get it. Between balancing work, school, social pressures, family life can feel overwhelming. Sometimes stress can lead to unhealthy coping strategies, including alcohol or drug use.

Remember, you don't have to do it alone and it's okay to ask for help - for yourself, or for your family.

We're here to provide guidance and support, so you can make safer choices around drugs or alcohol. You don't have to figure it out on your own.

Group Leader John recently won the High Five Hero Award at the GMMC Regional Awards!

The award acknowledges staff who go the extra mile to change people’s lives. We’re so pleased that he’s getting the recognition he deserves for everything he's done to support people within our HMP services 🌟

Those that nominated him shared some heart-warming words and feedback:

“John is a shining example of what true partnership looks like within the prison recovery landscape. He has spent years building trust, respect, and meaningful relationships with prisoners and staff alike.”

“He’s a good guy with a good heart. Helping people just means a lot to him.”

“John exemplifies the values we strive for in HMPPS – collaboration, integrity, and a relentless focus on changing lives.”

Congratulations John! 🙌

It’s World Autism Acceptance Month and we understand that everyone is different which is why we pride ourselves on offering support that is tailored to you.

If you have autism let us know what will help you, and we will try and provide it as best as we can. For example, this could be:

- Moving to a quieter room
- Adjusting the lighting
- Following up the meeting with an email summary of what was discussed

To discuss your options and find out how we can support you, speak to your local service. You can find their contact information by using our Find a Service tool.
