Specialist Pathways in the Community

The Youth 2 Adult (Y2A) Service, is commissioned by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). It seeks to improve outcomes by providing wrap-around, trauma-informed support under a multi-agency, co-located model. Within the Hub, National Probation Service staff, mental health, substance misuse professionals and other external services work in collaboration to ensure that young adults, many of whom have had multiple disadvantages growing up such as poverty, homelessness, drug abuse, and mental illness, receive the support they require. As a result, the main aims of the pilot are to improve the mental and physical well-being, engagement, and maturity of young adults. The Hub supports both young men and young women, with women accessing Hub support at the local women’s centre to ensure a trauma-informed and safe environment.

The London Women’s MHTR Service provides short-term (10-12 sessions) court-ordered community-based psychological therapy for women who cross the community/custody threshold at sentencing. The service works with women who have mental health difficulties that were present at the time of offending. The aim of the service is to increase Wellbeing, reduce reoffending, and to provide alternatives to short custodial sentences. MHTRs can be combined with an Alcohol Treatment Requirement (ATR) or Drug Rehabilitation requirement (DRR), and the service will work alongside the relevant ATR/DRR provider to ensure consistency.
