Programmes Facilitator

 

 

The Change Grow Live Pathways to Recovery Service is the Substance Misuse Psychosocial Interventions provision at HMP Wandsworth. It is a specialist service based within the prison that is committed to supporting service users to tackle their drug and alcohol use, reduce reoffending and lead happier, healthier lives. Whether their aim is to stop using substances completely, to cut down, or for harm reduction information, we are here to support that journey. HMP Wandsworth is a Cat B local prison in Wandsworth, South West London. It is a dynamic and busy service due to population of prisoners at HMP Wandsworth being predominantly on remand.
