How to refer

Any prison resident can self-refer to the service. We also accept referrals from third parties. If a staff member or third party refers a resident we will assess the resident if they agree to engage. All residents are seen as part of their induction. We also proactively refer anyone who is suspected of being under the influence or found with illicit substances.
