Covid-19 has significantly exacerbated the issues young people in prisons and Young Offenders Institutions (YOIs) face while locked up. Our innovative coaching programmes will enable young people in/on release from prison to overcome the impact of Covid-19, to build brighter futures for themselves.

Situation
Covid-19 has led to long-term lockdown inside prisons and YOIs – with prisoners (including children) spending more than 22.5 hours a day in cells, with no family visits, education or services. Without the right support, there will undoubtably be a long-term negative impact on individuals’ mental health and future life chances. The Chief Inspective of Prisons warns: “It is likely that prisoners who are released with no support…will struggle to cope, potentially leading to further offending.”
Solution
Our coaching interventions will help shift mind-sets of young people) whilst in prison and on release from prison, so they can focus on moving on, resettling into their local community and developing a plan for a future that excites them, away from crime. Our interventions are proven to improve decision-making, empathy, resilience, future outlook and wellbeing, which are critical in recovering from the impact of both prison and Covid-19.
