LPP provide psychological support and supervision to staff working into a range of accommodation services housing men and women screened into the OPD Pathway.
About This Service
We offer support and supervision to residential staff in three supported accommodation projects run by our partner organisation, Social Interest Group (SIG) Penrose. These projects offer 12 month placements to 12 men and four women screened onto the OPD pathway with significant resettlement needs.
Psychological Therapists provide consultations and reflective practice to probation staff working into Approved Premises (AP) in London. We also offer direct support to AP residents through joint sessions with their key workers.
We have four clinical practitioners specialising in supporting people on probation to secure accommodation post release. These posts are seconded from Single Homeless Project (SHP) and also provide specialist training and support to staff.
We run a 20 bedded Psychologically Informed Planned Environment (PIPE) supporting transition from prison into the community.

- Would benefit from a psychologically informed approach and access to an individualised programme to support their reintegration into the community.
