Description

Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust is the health provider for the delivery of an innovative prison-based assessment and treatment service for individuals with personality related needs.

This service is based within HMP Garth which is a category B men's adult prison based in Leyland.

The service is part of the National Offender Personality Disorder Strategy and is delivered as a partnership between HMP Garth and Mersey Care NHS Trust.

The service provides 1:1 and group-based interventions based on Professor Livesley's framework and model of interventions for individuals with personality related needs.

These structured interventions are provided as part of a therapeutic milieu which involves a focus on attachment, trauma and systemic approaches, alongside comprehensive risk assessment and management.

Core aims of the service are consistent with those of the OPD Pathway in improving psychological wellbeing, reducing risk, improving staff skills and competencies and pathway focused intervention.
