Episode 39 – OT Service In Prison: Integrated Support Unit

On this week’s episode, I am in conversation with Charlotte French (@charfrenchOT), an Occupational Therapist in a remand prison in the North East of England about her role in an Integrated Support Unit which aims to support people experiencing mental health difficulties. We discuss what the unit looks like and the interventions and assessments she completes with the people she works with in order to support them. We also discuss some of the challenges with transitions away from the unit and the potential difficulties this may throw up.
